The sound of the '90s, to me, is a combination of soul and street - it's a feeling.

Our sound is a combination of a lot of influences,

The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.

HERO is a combination of my personal feeling and the commercialism.

To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.

Hip-hop is the streets. Hip-hop is a couple of elements that it comes from back in the days... that feel of music with urgency that speaks to you. It speaks to your livelihood and it's not compromised. It's blunt. It's raw, straight off the street - from the beat to the voice to the words.
