There's racism everywhere in the world; it's not just Sweden, it's everywhere, but other than that I had a pretty okay upbringing.
As long as I don't have to compromise my art, that's the most important thing. It doesn't matter if I'm famous or not, it's all about the music.
I lost my dad in 2009 and on my album 'Feels,' it's about all different feels.
In my music, I bare it all; it's really naked.

I like to tell stories in my writing but I definitely use my own life experiences to tell that story.
This lipstick by MAC called 'Kinda Sexy' has been a favorite for years now and is one of my essential beauty products.

One book that I just think is absolutely beautiful is 'The Kite Runner.' I'd recommend that one to any and everyone.
My name is actually Snoh, but there's a rapper with that name already out there, so I was asked to add something to it. I didn't really want to do it at first, but then I thought of Aalegra. It has a connection to music and means 'joy' in Italian.
No I.D. is actually married to my cousin, and my cousin is my manager. So I met him when she met him many years ago. I was in the studio and he hooked me up with a bunch of producers that he knew.
I listen to rap a lot. I love Nas, Damien Marley, and Lauryn Hill.
I speak three languages - English is my third language - so I take my time with lyrics. It's almost like having a conversation with somebody. If it's really important, you want to think about what you wanna say with that person, especially if it's for the last time.
