If I had to collaborate with anybody on a song, I would pick Kendrick Lamar because he is so dope as an artist and I love his hustle and his passion. He is fearless and the way he comes to the music is like we share the same passion for what we do and with somebody from the West. In my opinion that would be a great collaboration.

When you have somebody who takes their craft seriously, you don't have to babysit them and be there all the time.

Every time I hit the stage I try to take something from it. There are a lot of shows and opportunities to be seen like that. I like to just take all of them and allow them to help me build.

I never put myself in a box. I like to have various different types of songs and different genres and situational songs. No matter is going on, I have something for that time or era.

I feel like pain is the quickest way to relate to someone because everybody has been through that and everybody has had a heartbreak.

I'm connecting and that's really what any artist wants at the end of the day which is to connect with their fans and supporters.

I feel that when you have a passion and you are real, you last throughout the ages and you're able to reincarnate your artistry numerous times.
