I'm very inspired by past music.

I'm a huge hip-hop fan from way back in the day.

Hip-hop is definitely not what it used to be, which was creative, original music.

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

I am hip-hop!

I love hip hop. It's such an appendage for me. It's something that's always shaped my experience out in the world.

We have this really retro vibe and style of songwriting and, personally, I wasn't embracing the current state of music until I fell in love with hip-hop. It felt good to suddenly embrace where music was headed, and I think hip-hop is the best at that, because it feels so progressive and everybody wants to be the best.

Hip-hop educated me about other forms of music, because it sampled from all different styles.
