Just because a rapper is white, I don't feel the need to attack them.
Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.
I love performing. I love getting out there. It's kind of like why I make music.
Melody always comes to me first before words - cadence and melody. When you're humming the melody and it's incredible and words start coming out it can build into something special.
It's hard being a white rapper sometimes! When that happens you just need to battle through.
I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.
My grandmother, grandfather, my mom - we've always been driven by laughter. It's what held us together. Thanksgivings, any kind of family get-together, we usually end up in tears.
Hip-hop for me has always been hardcore and edgy.
The way I perceive an album to sound and the way I put out mixtapes are two different energies. There's a different focus; there's a different sound.
People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up.
The best part of performing is the people. I love interacting with people. My favorite part is the crowd. I love rocking out with the crowd, that's definitely the best part.
I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.
My fans are like no other. Completely original people.
I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music; it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.
My homies in Gadsden aren't as exposed as I am culturally, which is awesome - that's why I love going home. I'm in the kitchen with people who don't know anything but the simple life, what's important to them, and what's dope.
American music culture is black culture.
1,2,3, I'm at the Chelsey Hotel, like, Sid and Nancy, with knife, and two grams of candy
I'm from the South, and there's a different understanding of how to chop. There's a syllable play. It's a delicate art. Your accent has a lot to do with it. If you're from a certain area, words don't roll of your tongue as slick.
I definitely prefer intimate crowds. I mean, those are always the best shows, like, a small venue. Packed to the gills. Hot, sweaty. Those are always the fun shows.
Triple 6 Mafia and Mystikal in Atlanta was one of my first shows. I remember how sweaty and smashed up everybody was, and it was so punk rock.
I'm never in the mood to eat or drink when I get to a show. I'm just too nerved out.
