The LA-based Aussie rapper talks falling in love with hip-hop, its influence and "In Motion."
His First Recording Was to an Asher Roth Track
While he was already writing lyrics at 10, he didn't actually get in front of the mic till he was much older. "The first thing I ever recorded when I was 17 or 18 was when I rapped over the beat of 'I Love College,' that Asher Roth song."
Lil Wayne is His Favorite Rapper
"I think lyrically I'm influenced Big L and Talib Kweli when I was young," he said. "I was into that multi-syllable rappers like that. But Lil Wayne would be my favorite rapper as well. I love going between singing and rapping. He's totally my favorite rapper."
