I feel like I have a very unique perspective especially for someone in the hip-hop genre. I’m not afraid to explore it, and how my upbringing then shapes my music and being a New York kid and all of that stuff…that’s really the most unique thing I can offer to the music in general.

I get to focus on something I love to do 24-hours a day rather than trying to squeeze it in between midterms, or even during my normal workday. When I was at Google it was like you wake up at 7 and then you get home by 7 and you start your second job of music. So now I get to focus all my efforts on music, travel and play shows and do all of this stuff. That’s the difference – That’s all my life is, all day.

I think the craziest thing I’ve seen is probably a fan sleeping overnight for two nights before a show, which was probably a bit excessive – they still probably could have been first either way! But I guess it turned into a really exciting, sort of, camping-out trip for them so it was cool.

I try not to listen to a lot of music when I’m starting the recording process, because it can be so subtly influential.
