We were just drinking some joint juice earlier.
At first you’re doing it for yourself, it’s about what sounds good to you. It’s about expressing yourself. Then you get comfortable as an artist and you find yourself and people get familiar.
If you’re an artist who’s built on marketing and hype then most likely I won’t listen to you.
You can be labelled but if it doesn’t speak to people then it won’t work. The social media and online has been really important. Fans are really smart too: they don’t want to hear something manufactured or something that has too much marketing behind it.
I don’t want to limit myself as an artist and only do a certain sound.
Watching Dawson’s creek ’til I fall asleep. It’s harder than it seems.
I got problems, can’t sleep at night. Cause your girl wanna come around and freak all night.
No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile.
It seems I’m getting fresher everytime I turn around.
I flood the Internet with what I think is quality content. That’s why I did things like giving out a song every 100,000 Twitter followers because I am just looking for ways to get my fans to hear all this music without over saturating things.
Radio’s a scary thing for me. It’s dope to be on there.
I was never just a ‘fill in 16 bars on a beat’ rapper. I was making real songs from the jump.
I used to just think about what my fans wanted all the time. But it just started feeling weird to me. I want to just show everyone who I am and stick to my vision. I have to trust myself.
I’ve been playing a guitar since I was 10 years old.
You could have the world in the palm of your hand, but it don’t mean a thing ’til you change it.
The whole background of ‘Avian’ is rain. I was just playing with textures and realizing you can touch music.
I never thought life would be this sweet, It got me cheesing from cheek to cheek.
They say you waste time asleep, but I’m just trying to dream.
I like tattoos. I’m gonna be covered. I’m not going to touch my face or under the chin on the neck: it’s my least favorite place.
People don’t really give me much anymore, and for good reason. I have to pay for a lot of stuff now, I can afford a lot more than I ever could before. No one really gives me anything anymore, but it feels good.
Enjoy the best things in your life because you aren’t going to get to live it twice.
