"I'm definitely interested in pushing the envelope of spittin'—how far can you go? I'ma keep giving it a shot up until I'm 70 or 80 years old. I’m just trying to still find that voice; I have so many things that I wanna say. I'm struggling with saying 'em in a way that fit the flavor of music that I tend to like."
