And so I wanted to kind of like really touch on that because what I want to do as a rapper is I don't want to just be someone who's kind of like taken from this incredible African-American tradition.

I want to also contribute something of my own tradition and my own heritage.

Thank you for having me and thank you for the wonderful conversation.
