If a project feels good to you, say yes. And do it with everything that you have and hope that the outcome is good.

As a kid, you don't have a ton of spaces where you are honored, where what you think is honored and what you say is revered.

There's this thing about authenticity when you rap, right? Whether or not it's real, it has to feel real.
