When asked about what sets him different from the many Hip Hop artists, he replied "If I had to say myself, what sets me apart is my honesty and my realness. My music is relatable to many people no matter where they are in life or who they are in life because the things that I talk about we've all been through it at one point in life. Also, I'm comfortable with myself, I don't fit any real mold as to what a Hip Hop artist should be and many people like that. You don't have to be a certain type of person to like my music... you just gotta like music. If you like music... then you will like me."
