I Never Have, But I Would Love

A Lot Of People Think I Live In A Soul Bubble.

I Think That What Happens Is That All Of My Modern Influences Blend Together With The Older Soul Influences And You Get Mayer Hawthorne.

Hip-hop Was My First Real Love, One That Was My Own And Wasn't My Parents' Music. Initially, I Was Inspired By Hip-hop Fashion. Over The Years, I Kept The Hip-hop Sensibility, But Make It My Own.

I Don't Want Kids Listening To My Music Thinking It's For Their Parents. I Want Them To Feel It's Theirs.

I Was A Hip-hop Head. When I Really Found My Own Lane In Music, It Was Hip-hop. I Wanted To Make Hip-hop Music. And I Did, I Made A Lot Of Hip-hop Music.
