I try to stay true to my style, and I understand the foundation of my style and where it came from. But at the same time, you take that experience and learn different ways to write, different ways to turn on that creative energy.
The young kids out there doing their thing, I can't knock them.
As a young artist, especially in rap and at that time that I came out, originality was big.
I got a lot of vinyl, a lot of music in general in the house.
As I grew up, a lot of the music was made to uplift the spirit.
I'm a fan of hip-hop as well. I like everybody who keeps the game on their toes and keep it pushing.
