commercial fuse music trying
I'm trying to fuse popular and commercial music and just make very creative music. It's popular music: it's everything for everybody.
boast places record trying
I'm not on a record like some rapper trying to boast about my clothes or where I'm from. I'm creating stories, experiences, the way places make me feel, the way a person makes me feel.
trying uniforms pants
I like to keep a uniform - wear a blazer, try to keep the same colour pants; very tailored, very fitted but still edgy.
cousin trying internet
While my cousins were gang-banging, I was trying to learn what the Internet was about.
dominant means photo seen
When I say 'rare,' it's my own term. It's like you're doing something with a photo that is dominant that no one has ever seen before. #Rare means that it can only be seen here. It's just a rare moment that I'm sharing with the world.
essential wake
Twitter is essential to me because I wake up and check it religiously. It's a way I communicate with my fan base.

To wake up in the morning and just know what I'm going to wear, it helps me get out of the house faster.
best songs
'Billie Jean' was a negative dance song, and that was one of the best dance songs ever.
corner grew
Brooklyn, where I grew up, is a competitive burg - there's always a pretty boy around the corner there, and you gotta look better than him.
Brooklyn for twenty years, I've learned that there is always someone better than you at what you do.

Brands are in your face 24/7; I'm sure you've consumed a couple brands today. So it's fun working with them. People recognize brands, and people are starting to recognize my brand.

I collect different game hats, like Syracuse Women's Volleyball; I have a Navy Basketball hat. They're all vintage but in new condition.

I have a few friends that have inspired me since I was a young kid. When I watch old films or modern movies - particularly 'Gladiator,' 'New Jack City' and 'The Skin I Live In' - I'll also get ideas.
