All good music that moves us. Anything that you go through or see makes you what you are. Influence comes from the mid 80's and 90's - thats when hip hop was still pure and in its organic form...when Tribe Called Quest dropped, when Nas first album dropped...basically when hip hop felt good, you know?!
