Any issue and any problem, no matter what height you look at it from, no matter how much you extend past the first fractal, it’s still a fractal of something that emanates from within your consciousness – from within the human consciousness. And it’ll move on and manifest itself externally, and then those are what we pick up as societal ills. But all these battles we’re fighting are internal. For me, it’s reconciling hope with dread and trying to cut out some place in my mind where my heart can be protected a little bit.

Everyone just wants to feel good, and I don’t think that all music is designed to make you feel good. Sometimes it’s to make you feel amped, or angry, or nervous. I was listening to a lot of Public Enemy when I made the record.

For me, growing up in hip-hop culture, it’s all about having the next style, the new fashion, the new way to express yourself, the fly new beat. I can’t sit still; I have no nostalgia. I don’t have to have nostalgia.

Hip-hop is always moving. It’s always looking for the next style; it’s always trying to one-up the last person.
