Mos Def, Talib Kweli, that whole Rawkus Records scene, that’s my type of shit.” He continued, “I also like cats like Prince. Just like his production, he’s kind of like the same thing as me. He sings, he produces, he plays all types of instruments.

That’s what I’m after. I wouldn’t wear that type of clothes or wear my hair like that. [Laughs.] But as far as artistry, that’s the same type of dude I am.”in an interview he revealed that Kim Burrell was his absolute favourite vocalist, and that Brandy was right there with her.
