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.
I’m happy that I’m learning and a lot of these fashion houses are willing to collaborate. I just want to put my swag to what they’re doing, because I like street style.
Sometimes I’ll have a whole song done without having a beat – I’ll just rap on an instrumental tempo and recreate a whole new song just around the lyrics.
Social media is so powerful now, and with all these blog sites and YouTube channels and videos, it makes it more and more relevant to bridge artists together.
I think whenever you’re around Kanye West, you gotta take notes. The advice is taking notes, because everything he does and everything he says is very detailed and very up front. He’s always one hundred what he says.
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.
I don’t really do too many interviews – I like creating and being visual, shooting videos and movies. I just like showcasing my skill and challenging myself.
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.
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.
