Who influences you?: Well I put it like this: (cough) Im the bastard son of Eminem and Lauryn Hill, but was raised by Talib Kweli and his brother Mos Def. All my uncles came to visit me, A tribe called quest, De La soul, rapped me to bed. Jill Scott and Musiq sang me to sleep. My big brothers Kanya West and Pharrell kept me motivated and the God Father Dr Dre keeps me inspired..
