I heard when I talk, they all listen, They hang on every word from the God, they all Christians. I baptize 'em with lines, this is y'all christenin' Bless with the gift of my presence, this y'all's Christmas.
I never want it to be a point where I'm so comfortable that I'm slacking.
My music is just as much me as it is everybody else.
Acting is something I've always wanted to get into - you memorize lines when you write your rhymes.
I'm naturally a personable person. I feel like figuring out ways to have my personality shine through outside of just a three minute song helped. I have layers, there are many different sides to Torae.
I want people who are going to rock out for the duration.
As much as I make my music for me, I make it for the people who rock with me and follow me. They're the inspiration behind it.
That's always good when you can bring out two sets of fans and supporters and then kinda cross them in between.
Working with Preme is always a dream come true. It's never like "I'm here and I'm comfortable." It's always like that very first time. It's a lot of jokes being cracked and we have a lot of fun.
People listen to the beat first. So if that doesn't draw people in especially with the audience I cater to, they're definitely about that production.
Sometimes I listen to a beat and I think its so dope and I don't know what to bring to that. And some beats I listen to and I just love them as instrumentals and I listen to them when I'm riding around.
Once you get a couple of records in, you kinda vibe out then you see what a full length is.
For me, when I do a show is to make sure that I gain some new people.
If you can stand on stage and perform a record, you should be able to stand on stage and captivate the audience without the rhyme. You should be a master of ceremonies.
