“I just make my music how I want to make my music. I try as much as possible to stay away from titles and everything the world is trying to put on me. Because as my guy would always say, ‘When the smokes clear, then you see clearly.
“So when you identify with those things [titles and tags] it just… I just make my music, I don’t care what anybody wants to tag it to enjoy it as long as you enjoy the music.
