So what kind of music and what kind of entrepreneur-ing?
I work with a t-shirt label, and I'm also working on an EP called Business Before All. 

What kind of music?
Good-ass music. It's fucking dope. It's a new genre. Hip-hop, galactic soul.

Who inspires your galactic soul?
I'm not inspired by a lot. There are only a few in the industry right now. Kanye West, and not even just how he raps — it's everything. His style is cool. It's out there sometimes. I am a fan. 

What were you just listening to?
I was listening to 88-Keys, featuring J'Davey — a song called "Dirty Peaches."

Listen: 88-Keys - "Dirty Peaches"

MP3

Is it your favorite song of the year?
It's actually my song from three years ago — I'm not up to date!

What's a guilty pleasure song?
Probably "Dirty Peaches!" I mean, it's called "Dirty Peaches." That's embarrassing. 

Oh, come on, that's not so bad. 
I also have some Gaga on here. She gets pretty out there. She's pretty weird. 

Wait — you're making hip-hop intergalactic music, and you think Gaga is weird?
I just feel like her newest album stepped a bit out of place, for me. Her music and her art and the way she came up, I'm a fan. But I feel like she's changing. She's got a lot going on. I think she's still trying to get her message out. I did see her dressed up like a man. 

What's your music dealbreaker, when you pick up a girl's iPod?
Lil B. If I see Lil B on there, I'm not interested in her. 

Who would you be a groupie for?
Skylar Grey. She's new. I like her art. She did that song with Eminem — she has a dope voice. 

Listen: Eminem ft. Skylar Grey - "Sweet Dreams"

What's a band or artist that should just stop?
I can't. I'm not a hater. 

Oh, come on. I will: Bruno Mars.
Really? You don't like him? What about Tyler the Creator?

I don't like his homophobia.
I don't think he's as homophobic as he acts. They're all crazy, but they do their thing.
