It all starts with those identity problems, with those internal struggles, with those things that are beyond your control. It also starts when record company executives don't know which audience to target because, at the race level, I'm ambiguous”, he recalled in conversation with the musician Questlove, leader of the band The Roots, on his popular podcast.
