I think there was a time. 90s of course you know we have MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Lauryn, Lil’ Kim, Foxy, Missy Elliott, Charli Baltimore, I can go on and on. But I think with social media, you just, you see it in such a heavy force. It’s everywhere. So I mean, I’m excited about it.

Who were your key influences on the hip hop side coming up?

My key? Lauryn Hill, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Nas, Biggie. Erykah Badu, she’s hip hop. To me MC Lyte, Queen Latifah. I listened, DMX heavy. What? Heavy, heavy East Coast right?
