"I'm putting out this free music, constantly putting it out." — Kendrick Lamar

Black and brown pride have been taught in my household for a long time.

The way people look at me these days - that's the same way I looked at President Obama before I met him. We tend to forget that people who've attained a certain position are human.

Being acknowledged for your work is always a great accomplishment, whether it's people in my city, kids in the street, all the way up to the Grammys.

My passion is bringing storylines around and constructing a full body of work rather than just a 16-bar verse.
