Torae quotes:

I heard when I talk, they all listen, They hang on every word from the God, they all Christians. I baptize 'em with lines, this is y'all christenin' Bless with the gift of my presence, this y'all's Christmas.

Working with Preme is always a dream come true. It's never like "I'm here and I'm comfortable." It's always like that very first time. It's a lot of jokes being cracked and we have a lot of fun.

As much as I make my music for me, I make it for the people who rock with me and follow me. They're the inspiration behind it.

I'm naturally a personable person. I feel like figuring out ways to have my personality shine through outside of just a three minute song helped. I have layers, there are many different sides to Torae.

Acting is something I've always wanted to get into - you memorize lines when you write your rhymes.

For me, when I do a show is to make sure that I gain some new people.

I never want it to be a point where I'm so comfortable that I'm slacking.

I want people who are going to rock out for the duration.

If you can stand on stage and perform a record, you should be able to stand on stage and captivate the audience without the rhyme. You should be a master of ceremonies.

My music is just as much me as it is everybody else.

Once you get a couple of records in, you kinda vibe out then you see what a full length is.

People listen to the beat first. So if that doesn't draw people in especially with the audience I cater to, they're definitely about that production.

Sometimes I listen to a beat and I think its so dope and I don't know what to bring to that. And some beats I listen to and I just love them as instrumentals and I listen to them when I'm riding around.

That's always good when you can bring out two sets of fans and supporters and then kinda cross them in between.
