In an interview with HipHopWired he said, "It's pretty much a concept album. It's set up in a format of I'm writing directly to the fan. It's certain songs that aren't set up like regular structure." In the same interview he said, "I'm not going to say that I did the classic "I came up, now look" rap story. It's a lot of stuff I'm talking about my parents—my relationship with my parents. The whole situation of me being the kind of person that I am, and not being super in the streets or super nerdy; just being a middle ground type of person, trying to find that balance, and trying to really discover who you are in the midst of everybody trying to push your around. () It's like the pursuit of happiness and self-realization, and just really trying to take yourself to that level and that plateau." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sincerely Yours (Iamsu! album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
