What song reminds you the most of home?
The song that reminds me the most of home is “If It Isn't Love” by New Edition. It was a song that resonated with me very early. You know what I'm saying? I don't know why, but that's probably why things like that are probably why I ended up making music. But that song is something about the beat and the whole just vibe of the song that even as a kid, I was like, “Yo, this shit is the shit.” And it was always playing at my auntie's house or we had a barbecue or just a family gathering, anything like that. So it just makes me think of that time in my life.

What is the song that you wish you had written?

Describe one of your favorite songs without actually naming it or the artist who made it.
So the song starts off with a really nice melody, you know what I'm saying? Kind of melancholy, but very chill at the same time. A little motivational, somewhere in between all those. And then a drill sergeant starts talking, some motivating type shit, just kind of giving some game. And then a snare roll, crazy snare roll, and then the hook starts. And it's a little melodic, a little, how would I say this? A little emo maybe?
You're abducted by aliens and when you wake up on the spaceship, they pass you the aux. What is the song that you're playing to convince them not to destroy Earth?
