The question is, What type of human do I want to be? How do I want to use my platform? Do I want to be safe, under the umbrella of my white privilege? Or do I want to push back and resist?

I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.

I don't want to look back and be like, 'You had it all, and you weren't even present for it. You weren't able to enjoy it.' I want to be here, be now and be grateful.

Do you want to live life, or do you want to escape life?

It's easier, as a white person, to be silent about racial injustice. It's easier. On paper. But it's not easier on the whole, because injustice affects all of us, whether we know it or not, whether we acknowledge it or not.

It's just a question of how much they want to push it. I have a hunch, if they wanted to push it, they could indict half the U.S. Congress.
