When I'm writing my album, it's totally my world. Even though it's myself and another producer creating the project, Conceptually it's more under my power and on my own terms. At the same time, it's a different type of pressure because I'm ultimately speaking, I'm solely responsible for the end result.

It's pretty much, having everything on your shoulder versus depending on an entire team.

It is a fool's sheep that breaks loose twice.

Rivers of tear drops, these sharp pains in my heart, if this was the way that you love, you never should have loved me

Times are completely different now. If you're a brand new artist with a record you want to release to the masses, I would suggest you try and get it hot yourself first. This way you can create your own demand so you'll end up having the option of demanding what you want if you do decide to sign with a label. If you don't and you still get on hot on your own, you then have the ability to reap all of your profits.

A New Year's resolution that I can never keep? To be able to make decisions.

By going and coming, a bird weaves its nest.
