In Africa, music is for everything, Music was originally used for community. That was what music was for.

In Africa, you know, if you're poor, at least you can go to the forest and share some mangoes with the gorillas and monkey.

Rap music is amazing, it's beautiful. But the problem is the lyrics. The person who writes the lyrics - that's the problem.

When I was in south Sudan, people used to rap in my village. But the rapping was more in the mother tongue, Nuer.

What music does to me, it helps me balance my inner pressure so that I can deal with the forces outside that are trying to pressure me.

As a child, I didn't know what they mean by 'to die.' So I grew up in a place where people used to die all the time, but a child is not allowed to see a dead body. When you ask, 'Where is so-and so?' you're told, 'He's gone to another world where we all go to live in the future.'
