I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.

Nowadays, everybody wanna be weird. We know how to manifest being weird.

For me, growing up in Harlem and then migrating down to SoHo and the Lower East Side and chillin' down there and making that my stomping ground... That was a big thing, because I'm from Harlem, and downtown is more artsy and also more open-minded. So I got the best of both worlds.

There's just so much out there and so much inspiration... I just want to be tasteful.

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don't drive, I wouldn't mind riding a bike... People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I'm an artist, man. I'm going to live like an artist.

I wanna make music that I feel proud of when I'm onstage, that I feel like I put my all into.

I would not consider myself to be a quote unquote real New York rapper. I don't even like New York rappers.
