Who's someone you would like to work with in the industry, and why?
Well, If My Chemical Romance was still around I would love to work with them purely for their high energy, emotional, rock out mentality. Other than that I'd say my hip hop influences Kid Cudi and J. Cole. Those dudes are the realest to me and who I identify most when it come to hip-hop. I love their expression and stories. Its what I am to do and I think we would have an awesome collab.
Who were some of your biggest influences that are in the same field you are in?
Definitely Kid Cudi and J. Cole as I stated earlier. Those dude are the truth, creatively and socially.
Compare yourself to some one that is more established, who would that be and why?
I wanna say Kid Cudi. I just feel like we have a similar weirdness and respect for music as an art from. I think we simply don't give a fuck what people think and are going to continuously make the music that allows us to grow creatively as artist and not worry about the bank. Never losing sight of why I started down this path; it wasn't to make money, but to let people know that we're not all that different and can relate to each other.
What makes you more unique than other artists?
I believe its my passion for music as an art form. I don't have any limits or barriers and I WILL NOT compromise my craft. When I create songs there are times that I wont follow standard rap song structure (verse, chorus, verse, chorus). I will have a 16, an ambient spoken word bridge, a chorus, another bridge, instrumental break, and come on and kill it with something else. I'm not afraid to let go and just let the music create itself. My team and I don't push for hits or radio/mainstream success. We just stay true to what we know.
What's one trait about yourself that you don't like?
Well, I'm emotional at times and can get pretty self conscious, especially when it comes to my music. When I'm in the process of creating my own bodies of work I try to refrain listening from other rap artist so that I don't lose myself in what they're doing. I at time can really over think things and need to do better with remaining free and what I love to do.
