When I started, I was 23 years old directing my own music videos; I'm co-producing on my album; I'm hands-on with everything. I'm more than just a pretty boy: I'm an artist. I'm not saying I'm a hip-hop music artist, I'm an artiste.

I wanted to model when I was younger.

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

I'm from New York and I love New York and I'm always repping New York, but what I represent is something deeper than just being a New York rapper.

I'm not a gay rights activist.

Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls!

I dress how I feel. I just go off emotion. I can't prepare my outfit a day before. Everything I wear is spontaneous.
