I grew up looking up to DJ Premier, who would have the illest hip-hop joint on everybody's album.
I want to do more R&B, more reggae, everything.
I learned so much from listening to Jay-Z, M.O.P. and Gang Starr.
Gang Starr was like the blueprint of my career.
Brooklyn just got that energy to me that's so hip-hop and so New York City. You know, New York City is the grittiest city in the world.
With 'Ready to Die,' that was some of the most honest rhymes of all-time. There's some real dark material on there that Biggie was going through.
