If I Focus On Being An Activist And My Job Is To Be A Rapper, I'm Not Going To Be As Good Of A Rapper. I Need To Focus On Hip-hop And Focus On Making The Music, So That When The Activists Come To Me And They Need My Voice To Create A Platform, Then I've Got Enough People Listening To Me. Not Because I'm Conscious, But Because I'm Dope.

I Like The Fact That I Can Rep New York, But My Style Does Not - I'm Not Trapped In A New York Thing. I Can Do Art Songs With Other Artists And It's Seamless.
