- In an interview, when asked what he mainly raps about in his songs, he responded:

I went through depression and struggled a lot to get out of it. I wanted to express my victory through a song and that’s how I wrote my first Malayalam rap song ‘Thee’.

As an artist, I want to help others who have been through a similar path. ”
- San said hip-hop is becoming more popular in India but Malayalam hip-hop is still not popular. In an interview, he shared his views on the South Indian hip-hop scene and his working techniques, saying,
Even though there are many artists putting out back-to-back singles and albums, we still don’t get the influence and recognition that rap deserves. Rap is all about choosing the right words and creating your own unique beat. You have to keep trying. When it comes to Malayalam rap, reading and researching is the only way you can find the right words. Whatever you do is new because there has never been a big hip-hop scene in Kerala. It’s all about trial and error, and you’ll eventually get to a unique place where your musical intuition tells you “it’s right there, it sounds good, we can go”. That’s what I do. ”
