I know what people want. I know what everybody wants – I know what the streets want, I know what the suburbs want, I know what corporate people want. I know what-all type of music these people listen to.
I am an artist who’s just tryin’ to do something different, and basically not caring about everybody’s opinions and wanting to follow what everybody else is doing. At the same time, I know when to be serious, but I know when to joke.
Even though Prince wasn’t rapping and it was a whole different era, it shows how artists expressed themselves without saying too much, and that was the real beauty of the art.
I’ve always been into dressing and being stylish because I feel like that’s where I gained a lot of my confidence and swag as a rapper, so fashion goes hand-in-hand with music to me.
At the end of the day, people have the right to have opinions. I have the right to have an opinion. And I have the right to say what I want on my music ’cause it’s my music. If you don’t like it, don’t click on it, don’t download it.
Just to stay focused on my path and not the path that other people or media want to put me in. Just to stay focused on my vision, because I put out what I want people to know about me. Everything else is what the media puts out.
Personal life doesn’t affect my creative process. It just gives me more subjects to talk about. Basically whatever you put in your music is how you want people to view you.
