When I first heard Thundercat's stuff, I thought, 'Man, this is so original.' A lot of his ballads, to me, had such a beautiful harmonic, almost classically Hispanic, feel or, like, Brazilian kind of feeling. I don't think he does that intentionally or anything. It's just I think those are his influences on some level.

We've reached a point where people don't even know how to look for anything fundamentally important anymore.

I'd like to do something with Frank Ocean, you know, and I love working with Thundercat, and I'd love to do more with him.
