I think the two-party system sucks. It's absolutely ignorant. View quote

When you've been raised in care, rap music isn't just about guns and sexism. They're talking about real things you can hang on to, problems of identity that you have sympathy with. It's not just about the music, with rap: when I was in care, it meant a whole lot more than that. View quote

And then I was like, 'By the way, I rap.' View quote
Utkarsh Ambudkar
