What I wanted with that Ruthless state of mind,: just to show people who I am as a person and why I do what I do, and why I go as hard as I do go.

My favorite movie, one of 'em is [Notorious]. I love Scarface as well. I've got a lot of mob movies.

Stay focused. You gotta believe in yourself. I think that's the biggest thing I've been able to do throughout my whole career, even before I actually had a big career in this industry.

Regardless of what people say, that's what they gotta bang in their heads: Ace Hood is the future. You ain't got nobody else in my lane.

I wanted people to feel me as a person. I do this music for the people, man, so at the end of the day I feel like, [given] our state of mind and the state our economy is in, I felt like we needed motivation for the type of situation we're in nowadays.

That Scarface movie is just ruthless! His state of mind was like, "Yo, we're gonna get it - we're gonna get this money, we're gonna get this, get that."

We've got goals we're trying to reach, and "Overtime" is the only way to do it, and "Champion" is the only thing we're tryin' to be.
