My mission is to blow up the boundaries and tear down the limits. I’m taking my music outside of the box. I’m not getting away from what I’m known for; I’m just going to a place where it’s all about the music, not about the labels on the music. That’s why I call it Shock Value. From the artists to the production, it will shock the system.
