I think my songwriting might be a little more on the darker side maybe.

I feel like my lyrics are just dark and scathing. I feel like the lyrics on 'Darkest Before Dawn' are uncompromised hip-hop and really speaking to my core fan base. Basically what's been known in my discography the entire time.

As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.

If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times.

If you listen to most of my songs, the lyrics are pretty kind of dark, but I like to put it behind happy music because then it evens it out... I'm really happy, actually. Obviously I have my bad moments, but I always challenge myself to not put negativity out there because there's already enough.

I always say my music is like dark blue or black, like a punch to your gut that feels really good.

I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.

I'll refer to my music in color, like 'This song needs to be bright red.'

People always tell me my books are so dark; I don't think they're particularly dark. I'm not like that. I'm quite a cheerful soul.

If I get in a dark spot, I'll listen to some Adele and cry about it.
