“As long as it doesn’t veer away from who I am, I’m down with it.”

I don’t like to veer away from the truth because I think that’s what people have fallen in love with about my music.

He is fearless and the way he comes to the music is like we share the same passion for what we do and with somebody from the West. In my opinion that would be a great collaboration.

I think that I work hard to make my music as a diary for new generations who find out about it years later.

They can go through the history and see a trail.

I feel that’s why people can connect so well with it because it’s all honest.

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.
