I think if I did something in the pop world right now, it would be for Rihanna. I'd love to do something production wise for her.

Usually I start with a beat, I start making a beat, and my producer side is making the beat. And on a good day, my rapper side will jump in and start the writing process - maybe come up with a hook or start a verse. Sometimes it just happens like that. A song like 'Lights Please' happens like that.

The thing about being an artist today is you get to develop right in front of people's eyes before you even put out an album.
