I used to do a lot of one-off collabs, features, stuff like that.

People will put me in whatever box they feel the most comfortable having me in, and nothing I can do will change that.

I guess, for me, the idea of finding an identity through creative means has always been a way to deal with otherwise feeling awkward and uncomfortable out in the world.

I think I'm always surprised at how much the musicians I meet put weight on things that aren't music.

I love rap lyrics, I love hearing people rap, I love molding a thought or idea into the shape that fits on a rap beat.

I just try to reflect the grittiness in New York. I try to protect the grit and the dirt that comes with it, which is a good thing.

I'm never really comfortable; I think it's kind of natural to feel uncomfortable, and I think if people say they are comfortable, they're just lying.

Every record I do does a little better than the last, which in turn makes me more stressed out.

Performing is fine.

I don't like to do the same songs every night for a week. I just... it's boring and tiring and frustrating basically.
