"The Autobiography of Malcolm X changed my life. I read it when I was 15, and that — along with discovering Public Enemy and Afrocentric hip-hop — kind of went hand in hand as a consciousness-builder and creator."

"It brought forth the revolutionary in me. I think that Malcolm X represented a lot of authentic militarism during a time of integration and segregation in the 50s and 60s. So he just gave me a new perspective on how he felt about integration and human rights – not just African-American rights."
