Kush says his reduced public output does not mean he has stopped recording music, explaining that family responsibilities, business commitments and quality control have affected how frequently he releases songs.
Responding to claims that he has become lazy with music, Kush said the business side of his life must first be able to support his household.
He said he continues to record whenever time becomes available, sometimes heading into the studio late at night when other responsibilities are completed.
The bigger issue, according to Kush, is that he does not believe in releasing music without being able to properly support it.
He said a full release should include more than uploading a song. In his view, an artist should also be prepared for a music video, promotion, media appearances and other work needed to give the song a proper chance.
Kush said he would rather keep recorded material unreleased than put out a product he believes is incomplete.
He pointed to “Welcome to Moco” as an example of a song that existed for years before eventually being released.
For Kush, maintaining the quality associated with his name has become more important than releasing music simply to remain visible.
