Coming From A Smaller Place Always Made

Hip Hop Is The New Rock N' Roll, You Know What I Mean? And Anybody Who Doesn't Think That Is Just Sort Of Living In The Past. It's All Just American Music, Really, When You Get Right Down To It.

I Started Playing Bluegrass With My Family, So There Were The G, C And D Chords. I Was Playing A Martin Acoustic Because That's What Carter Stanley Of The Stanley Brothers Played. Then I Got Into The Really Raw Blues Of Hound Dog Taylor And Started On Electric Guitar.

When I Learned To Play Music, I Was Listening To Blues Music. And All The Blues Music I Liked Was Super Simple And Stripped Down. And Then All The Hip Hop I Liked Was Super Simple And Stripped Down And We Always Heard That Connection.

Coming From A Smaller Place Always Made Things Feel More Personal, Which Is Really What It's All About.

I'm Sure You Feel Differently About Writing Than You Did When You First Started. When You Get Older And Your Brain Changes, You Have To Figure Out How Your Job Fits Into Your Life As It Changes, You Know What I Mean? I Guess Everybody Goes Through That Stuff, And I'm No Exception, Always Trying To Figure Out What I'm Doing With Music.
