Megan talked about the album during an interview with SiriusXM’s Hip Hop Nation with host Swaggy Sie.
“Well, to me Traumazine basically means like, facing yourself, like what you go through when you finally decide to accept what you’ve been through and come out on the other end as the person that you see yourself becoming, or that you wanna be. So I feel like I had to make up a new word for this new experience that I’m going through,” Megan said.
“What do you feel like that reflection period was like for you and, and really translate that into the music?” Swaggy asked.
“I’m definitely still going through it. I feel like everybody that has been through something, like they can kind of see it on other people that have been through something. And I feel like we kind of got this like language where, okay, I understand you might be having a bad day. It might not have nothing to do with me so let me treat you with a little bit more courtesy. You know what I’m saying? Like, I feel like I could tell when somebody is like a tough person and you know, probably why they might be a little tough. I don’t know everybody’s story, but like, I just wanna, I just feel like I wanna treat people how I would want everybody to treat me, you know what I’m saying? But anyways, my reflection journey, I feel like it’s still happening, but I know that I’m, I’ve been through these things and I know I’m not perfect. And I know, I know it’s gonna get better, but I’m accepting the fact that I have to go on this journey to get there. Some of the things are uncomfortable to say out loud, right? Like you have to say ‘em to yourself, but it, you know, I’m going through that awkward little uncomfortable phase,” she said.
Megan added, ” I’ve been on this journey, but I feel like it’s probably a little bit more intense than it was like, I feel like when something happens to me, I kind of like push it to the side. Like, and I, I kind of work through everything. Like if something’s bothering me, I don’t like sit down and talk about it or I’m not like expressing myself. I’m just like, okay, well throw a bunch of stuff on my calendar so I could like, not even think about it. But now I’m like, okay girl, let’s talk about it. Cause I’m sick of talking to people and exploding.”
