I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things.

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.
