I've been a big Bob Marley fan forever. Forever. Like big, huge. Bob Marley and the Beatles, that's my big, giant music influence. I can listen to them all the time.

I can go to a country song, go right into it and make it sound authentic. And I think that's because of my ear as an impressionist.

I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.

Nas is one of my favorite rappers because you don't get any of that flashy stuntin'; you get the real, just raw bars. The way he tells stories and his vibe, I think we would make great music together.
