“I won’t sell my songs for no TV Ad.”

Forget about color or race or gender or whatever, he’s got his heart in the right place.

I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that

Music is going to go in some direction that is entirely inconceivable now.
