“I’m connecting and that’s really what any artist wants at the end of the day which is to connect with their fans and supporters.”

I can’t be passionate about something that I don’t understand. In my music.

My music is very raw, it’s emotional, and it’s honest.

Love and heartbreak is something that’s always been a part of me.

But at the same time, there’s still a classy side to me that I’ve seen in Oakland as well.

I like to just take all of them and allow them to help me build.

When you have somebody who takes their craft seriously, you don’t have to babysit them and be there all the time.

The influence that Oakland has on my sound is about 90%.

No matter is going on, I have something for that time or era.

I am so weak over love and heartbreak.

There’s so many different elements to Oakland.

I feel that when you have a passion and you are real.

It’s straight and narrow, you can see the growth and understand that I’m not afraid to give you honesty and be honest about anything that has to do with my story.

I feel like pain is the quickest way to relate to someone because everybody has been through that and everybody has had a heartbreak.

Every time I hit the stage I try to take something from it.

I do my best to tell a story whenever I write music because I want to paint the most vivid picture that tells a story whether a person is falling in love for the first time or going through a painful heartbreak.

I’m one of the artists that even though I love my soulful stuff, I love to turn up and have a good time and that’s another side of me.

DJs play a big responsibility of what hip-hop is doing… At the end of the day, it’s up to us to control and to own hip-hop.
