I am a failed visual artist.

I really like 'Game of Thrones.

New York can be a tad stressful.

God helps those who have no-cut contracts.

I don't really regret much of my music life.

Too bad your inner sheep never forgets to follow.

The alleycats manipulate the blocks with gutter magic

I avoided the computer generation for a very long time.

I don't like being away from home for a long period of time.

I always keep my phone on vibrate. Ringtones give me anxiety.

My collaborative albums are always way more enjoyable to make.

I want to stay learning and hopefully allow my craft to evolve.

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

People can label me whatever they like. I don't really care any more.

I'm just tryin to be somebody I can talk to in the morning with a smile.

I got tired of everybody repeating the same phrases in the hip-hop world.

MCs are authors, and rock musicians who write lyrics are authors, to a degree.

There's smoke in my iris, but I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids

The older I get, the less I care about what’s cool. I realize I’m old and weird.

I love a cool cellphone as much as the next guy, but, god, I hate when it rings.

Artwork, films, TV - it's always informed my work, no matter what I'm working on.

I think if the desire to improve what I do starts to plateau then what's the point.

It's really rare in life that a situation is as black and white as we tend to paint it.

We're all just cats trying to be original, which is what I think being a B-boy is about.

When I record in a studio. I know that on Tuesday at 3 o'clock I've got to go be creative.

The neighbors prefer I don't do vocals at night. It gets a little iffy when I'm screaming.

I'm Mozart with a focus on the tide Hiding the inconsistencies of man behind water and wine

I always find my emotions all over the map, not so much a single thing overriding the rest.

Sometimes comfort zones are the best. Sometimes discomfort is just what the doctor ordered.

I don't want to hit a point where I feel there is nothing to improve upon - there always is.

I guess all that I can hope for is that my songs affect the younger versions of me out there.

Armchair hater, I wouldn't piss on your coffin But when I see your picture I draw dicks on it.

Rap music started because they were bored of other music so they created something really new.

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

I never really planned on being a rapper, I just kinda did it and then people started liking it.

I don't really engage much in the creative community. I just kind of keep to myself and do my work.

Everyone's been on the "hip-hop is dead" campaign for years, and now it's the most unsure-of-itself genre ever.

I went to college, got a job. Not a good job or anything but I was fully set to be an office employee for my life.

To be honest, I think Chris Ware is the only person whose books I've actively and consistently purchased for years.

You can't get someone to like something they aren't feeling. After you press play, there isn't anything you can do.

I've traveled a lot, I've rapped a lot. I like to think that's all in the toolbox to be tapped into when I need it.

I would say the best toy for any cat is always some sort of dangling item on a string or fishing-rod-type structure.

Dream a little dream, Or you can live a little dream I'd rather live it 'Cause dreamers always chase But never get it

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

Pardon me if this all sounds corny, but when you put on a record, I'd like it to be an escape from everything you do.

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.

The only bridge I've ever burned along this legacy I dance is the one that linked the cities of prosperity and chance.

Finding something new that I know I've never done before is the best feeling I know, and when I get there it's all worth it.

Honestly, I don't feel pressure to live up to anything I've done because I tend to not listen to my work once a year passes.

Ultimately, I really like to rap, and seeing what I can do to keep it fresh for myself has lent itself to tailoring over time.
