I've always believed in self, I've always believed that as long as I believe, nothing else matters. I just put that type of motivation and that type of energy into my music, and I've always had confidence in my music as well.

We've got a lot of people that support, but The Runners are definitely one of my favorites.

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

I could go old-school; I listen to a lot of old-school music, like Teddy Pendergrass, the Temptations, people like that. I'm an old-school dude, and I'm vibin' with stuff like that to clear my mind. I like listening to that old-school music.

There's a lot of people that try to come between my clique and try to stop what we're doin', but we got no mercy for 'em.

I wanted "Champion" to accompany that whole growth situation, 'cause I feel like, if you go overtime, you will become a champion.

I take pride in my music, I feel like it actually does something for people personally, in their personal lives, so it's real music and it helps people get through things like I was able to get through things.
