The projects I'm working on are all diverse, but each represents a different passion for me. I'm constantly looking to stretch myself.

After you date a player or two it's nice to just chill with a guy that can keep it basic.

The people I chose to work with me on this album are there because I have a personal relationship with them.

I went to night school and summer school, I made that whole year up and I actually graduated on time. Also, I got a part-time job at the radio station.

I got my bearings, I began to focus. My mother was very supportive. When I came back to New York I landed a job at Hot 97.

I knew that when it came time for me to finally make my own album, it wasnt going to be about being a jock. It had to be more personal and intimate.

Always keep things in perspective.
