Probably, violent things I've done when I was younger, was probably the most despicable thing that I've ever done.

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 thought highly of myself growing up. I still do. There's not really much somebody can say to me to bring down my confidence or anything.

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 want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.

I've been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the 'hood, and everybody in the 'hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.

I don't have any favourite lyrics. Honestly, all of them I love 'em to death - it's the same with songs. I don't have just one favourite lyric, I love them all.
