Before that, I listened to whatever my mom played on the living room stereo... I really loved her stuff too. It was mostly Prince, soul and funk records. Hip-Hop draws so much from those genres that my interest in hip-hop was a logical “next step” in my progression. I started writing rhymes, diving into every album that I could, taping pages of The Source and XXL to my wall, etc., doing what hip-hop kids do. It became the truest form of expression for me; I became immersed in the culture...it became a part of me”
