“Coming out of the Northwest and that environment to shoot hip-hop vide...” — Ryan Lewis Quote

“Coming out of the Northwest and that environment to shoot hip-hop videos, it's a little atypical of a place to be, you know.”

“I don't think I would be here in an interview if YouTube wasn't in existence, if social media hadn't been developed, or if these platforms for artists to promote and develop their own careers hadn't become available.”

“I think most producers and MCs are constantly in this competition, but it's usually with yourself. It's usually wanting to be innovative: wanting to catch yourself when you're doing the same thing or throwing out the same art you've already done.”

“I love hip-hop, but hip-hop is a way of life.”

“I am a big music guy. Hip-hop, R&B, old school, jazz.”

“Since I was a kid, I was listening to hip-hop.”
