Oh man. I got into art. I started painting and acting. It was just me, my mom and my brother. And she told me not to do music. I can tell you what color you are, what you remind me of, types of shit like that. I think artists are angels, because we drive the world. Think about how much people need music every day when they wake up. Think about how much they need art, entertainment. Yeah—why not? You have to surround yourself with people who want to take a step forward in the world. My record, it sounds like a war.
And think about Martin Luther King. He had a dream. You were never taught you could be anything other than young, Black and angry. We have to protect each other. But I love you. Oh yeah, definitely. Sandra Bland, what happened to her is awful. Thinking about that makes me nauseous, like reading all the facts and stuff.
Mike Brown, too. Dylann Roof. You know his name. Why do we know his name? Some people still call Trayvon Martin "The Black kid with the hood. We built this fucking world. So how is this project your safe space? When I was a kid, I grew up homeless a lot. And my mom, she used to get really pissed off at me. Like I belonged there. I cried. I never cry in front of anyone; I never cry until I hit the trees, you know?
I had like a proper meltdown. The woods is that place for me. That's what the record's about. But I had to go back there just to empty myself out. It has to be just me, myself, in a safe space.
