I'm just going to express my opinion and try to change the way people think with the stuff I write or try to get deep into stuff that other people haven't got deep into.
Me, l'm a weird person, so my music is kind of weird, but l want my music to be weird.
I don't judge nobody.
Everybody was down on me saying I can't rap, so I wanted to show everybody that I could actually do this. That's what motivated me.
I've seen a lot of people come out of Carol City, but I had this distinct vision for Carol City, just me coming out of there, because my music is so different from anybody else who came out of there.
My upbringing and my daily day-to-day struggles and emotions make up most of my music.
If shoes are brought to my attention, and I like them, I'm going to rock them for a long time.
You can't expect somebody to speak out on a certain subject. If they want to say something about it, then say something about it. But artists have a choice. It's their choice. I choose the stuff I talk about, but it's not my responsibility to do it.
People wanna escape the truth sometimes.
I started finishing 'Nostalgic' while trying to graduate at the same time. I graduated from high school, got my diploma, and my life just started when I completed 'Nostalgic 64.'
I never wanted to perform like a rapper.
Without Spaceghostpurrp, you wouldn't have people like Seshollowaterboys - you wouldn't have people like me; you wouldn't have people like ASAP - if it weren't for him.

Carol City has its hot moments, and it has its cool moments. If you were from one area of Carol City, people didn't mess with you.
I have people to keep me grounded. That's very important. And I like the fact that I have people to keep me grounded. I'll never switch on them, they'll never switch on me, and that's what it's going to be.
I think being sensitive gives you powers. You get the logic and the flexibility of emotions.
My parents were really into music. They would play the Funkadelics, Parliament, OutKast; they would just play that all around the house. They'd also play Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, James Brown.
Raider Klan was crazy because we all had our own personalities and our own little worlds when it came down to this music. It was the first step to creating your own weird little universe.
People used to laugh at me like, 'Hahaha, you can rap? You? We don't believe it!'
I went from following people to being on my own. Once I was on my own, I watched people start liking me, and I watched people stop liking me. Everything was supposed happen. It was all supposed to reveal itself.
