Nobody uses skits at all anymore, so it seems like I use a lot. That's how I grew up on tapes. Biggie tapes, Biggie albums would have skits. The Lox would have skits. Mase would have skits. All the dudes I grew up on in Nineties rap would have skits on their projects, just to make you feel like you were right there with them.

I never felt like 'I'm an underground dude' or 'I can only be hot in New York.'

I feel like I've mastered Dave East. For a long time I was trying to figure out who I was and what sound I wanted to come with.
