People are very adamant about maintaining a certain sound or a certain era, like, "There were three years of rap that were great, so let's just keep doing that." The genre itself is just stuck in place. It's been treading water for a while.

The only bridge I've ever burned along this legacy I dance is the one that linked the cities of prosperity and chance.

For a guy who didn't expect a fan base whatsoever, I'm pretty stoked. People say they don't understand it, and I say that's okay. I don't think anyone can argue that I'm not trying to do my own thing at least.

In a time where everything's a flavor of the month, and it's hard to have any sort of longevity, I've been able to sell records still. I want to be the guy that stands out there and says thank you personally to everyone. And I try after my shows and kick it because I want to genuinely say thanks.

You can't get someone to like something they aren't feeling. After you press play, there isn't anything you can do.

Honestly, I don't feel pressure to live up to anything I've done because I tend to not listen to my work once a year passes.

God helps those who have no-cut contracts.
