As long as they're listening to the music and they're talkin' about it, one way or the other, that means I'm doing something right.
I'm an artist, not a rapper... so my musical genres and library is way beyond the normal rapper.
I don't think of myself as just a rapper. But overspending on sneakers? That's a real rapper thing to do.
We are all people... don't label me as an LGBT rapper or a female rapper... I don't like to be labeled.
When you from Down South, it's, 'You're a trap rapper,' 'You're a street rapper.' They try to put you in a category.
