I really liked 'Blk Girl Art.' It's like a manifesto saying why I create, whether it's poetry or music.

I think of music as creating a space. I like to put things in that are comforting to me and are nostalgic. To me, that's what sampling does in songs; it's making deeper layers for people who know where it comes from, but also referencing another part of my history and my memory or a memory that I have.

I don't create from a place of me making art for art's sake, but wanting my work to actually do stuff... tangible things.
