It's really tough to be an active member of your church when you travel so much, but that's the stuff that keeps you going.

I'd love to get in a room with Kanye at some point, have a conversation, and see if something cooks up.

I don't really speak for anybody else's music, and I don't think I should, but I think the reason why people enjoy my music is because there's a level of honesty and transparency that people can connect and relate to.

A lot of my friends - I am the only white person in their circle. Being able to hear other perspectives besides the white conservative approach has really given me a perspective that I want to share and challenge people to think about.

Hip-hop has always been about keeping it authentic and being authentically you. That is what I try to do in my music and when I speak about the Bible.

I make it my business to be around people that don't look like me or think like me or act like me. I want to learn from them.

I found Beam when he was 16 years old. He dropped his SoundCloud page onto my Facebook. 'I listened to it and was like, these tracks are actually dope.'

I hope people listen to the music. Don't write it off because there is a Christian doing it and it's been labeled that way, because if I'm honest with you, Christian rap for the most part has been corny.

I've never been about just trying to do what works. I've been about trying to authentically express how I feel.

I told my mom I went gold, and she didn't know what that meant, and I was immediately humbled.
