Lil Tracy

“The first day I met Peep we made a song without question. Never in my life have I connected with someone like that. Literally the first day we met we recorded 'White Tee' and shot the video.”

“I always liked the guitar sound.”

“Your friend dies, and people always say, 'Oh, he lives through me,' or whatever. But it's just sad that they're not living. If a person dies that's close to them, then they say, 'I lost this person.' It always tripped me out because I would always be like, 'Yeah, but that person lost their life.'”

“I used to get in a lot of trouble.”

“When people close to me die, I never feel bad for myself. I feel bad for them because they was good at living, and they don't get to do it no more.”

“'Anarchy' was more of a tribute album to my friend Peep.”

“I rep Peep, I have him in the middle of my face. It's not a replica tat, it's not something he had, it's my own thing.”

“'Shame,' really it was about people from my hometown who just spread hate about me and just aren't nice to me. And I just felt like that was a shame, so that's really what that stems from.”

“I know what my fans have wanted from me this whole time. 'Bad For You' and 'Anarchy' is me finally giving it to them.”

“There was a point where people would mention that I was black everyday.”

“When I feel some type of way, I can't think straight.”

“I hate when people try to put me in one category.”

“I actually started making beats first and that was before 2010. I think I was like 14. They were really bad. I used to sample like Arabic music for some reason.”

“So all I really seen my whole life is just Myspace and Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and YouTube.”

“I'm just happy to be his son. I don't know, I just feel lucky, really. I feel like I was given a power.”

“I was definitely super rebellious, and my music is that.”

“Whenever I'd get in trouble, my mom would send me to Seattle, and when I would get in trouble there, I'd get sent back to Virginia.”

“I'm just a normal, nice dude.”

“I use my music to kind of lead my feelings. I feel like if I make a happier sound, I will be happier.”

“I got caught doing graffiti with my friend in broad daylight once.”
