“Hip hop was being created in front of me it was such a joy to grow up in what a lot of people would call impoverished or a food desert or a place that is lacking culture in all of those things but it was very rich.

“Creation is stronger than some of the ignorance that we’re facing. It’s just that we’ve gotta go through the ignorance to get to our brilliance.”
