I'm tryin' to build myself bigger than just Ace Hood, I'm tryin' to build myself as a bigger brand - open up clothing lines, colognes.

What I love about doing my concerts is always feeding off the fans and their energy.

I define "grindin'" as just nonstop work! Nonstop work, nonstop progress. Can't sleep during that grind - I mean, you get a little bit of it, but if you're progressin' at every hour, every second, you are grindin'.

People acceptin' me for me, people lovin' my music was big for me.

Due to success I started losing friends.

I would just encourage any artist to stay focused, of course keep God first, and just keep working hard. Try to outwork those who you idolize.

In order to perfect your craft, you've gotta go hard, you've gotta go overtime.
