In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Seeing KRS-One on TV for the first time was the moment I realized rap could be a vessel for truth, because he wasn't just rhyming—he was speaking knowledge. I saw early on that if you hold a mic, you need to have something of substance to say. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “For the Love of Money (feat. Constance Dees)” For the Love of Money shows that the hustle is a hollow god, using the Word to cut through the noise with the kind of conviction that only comes from a soul being refined by humility. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The moment I stopped chasing secular nods and let the Most High be enough of an audience for me, because that's when I realized the only validation that matters is the Truth.
