All music now is influenced by Hip Hop. It’s so deeply ingrained in the culture.

All of my close friends have been in my life for years. My best friends are all people I met in grade school, going back as far as 3rd grade.

I think it’s a beautiful thing how Hip Hop is received by the world.

I’m just vibrant. I try to bring that to everything I do.
