At the end of the day I want to be the guy who experienced music in all type of ways, with hip-hop being the roots of it.

I'm probably not as big of a hip-hop fan as people may think. I'm not up on all the artists and know all their stuff.

I'm forever learning and that's why I'm always able to create new styles and new dimensions of hip-hop.

Hip-hop is all over the planet.

I don't ever claim to be a hip-hop head.

The beautiful thing about hip-hop is it's like an audio collage. You can take any form of music and do it in a hip-hop way and it'll be a hip-hop song. That's the only music you can do that with.

That's the reason why I'm making albums. That's the reason why I love hip-hop: It's a challenge every time.

I love hip-hop and soul, but I desperately want to challenge it and see what I can bring to it.
