thinking rapper moments
I think that whatever you do, if you're a singer, a rapper, an architect, dentist, treat that like when you're doing it, your whole career depends on that moment.
dishonest
I would be dishonest if I said I didn't feel a little concern,
accepted album chapter closure fear five last
This album is, in a sense, closure to a chapter in my life. I've purged myself of some of the things I've been going through in the last five years. That's more important to me than the fear of not being accepted by old fans.
album chapter closure
This album is, in a sense, closure to a chapter in my life.
soul
I like to leave all of my soul on the stage where I perform.
weekend wife parent
My wife and I are parents to a 4 year old and a 2 year old. It's really important for me to always be there for bath time and breakfast time and on the weekends.
dope popular-music electronic-music
I turn on the radio now and I don't have anything against a lot of sequenced and programmed and electronic music, a lot of it is dope and it's the future. It's what popular music has evolved to.
beautiful imperfection moved
For me, when I want to be emotionally moved by a vocal, I don't want to hear auto tune on it, I want to hear the beautiful imperfections.
moving thinking track
If I want to be moved by the track, I don't want it to be sequenced, I want it to be somebody playing the guitar or piano or a horn arrangement where you can hear the breath. You can almost smell the studio while listening to the music. For me, that's what moves me emotionally, that's what I came from. I think that's always going to work best for me.
get-better trying
I just try and get better and better at me with every album.
trying
What's working for me is like when I go into the studio, I'm trying to get goosebumps.
song dope laughing
I'm trying to laugh uncontrollably with whoever I'm making a song with because whatever we just listened to that we just came up with is so dope. I'm chasing that feeling in the studio, not like a trend or what's hot on the radio at the moment. It just seems like the more I do that, the better I get at what I do. I'm going to keep doing that.
For those who have never seen me live, you kinda need to check me out.
I treat every time I walk on the stage like it's the performance of my life.
