I'm just a product of my environment, and it comes out in the music.

I never thought that alcohol could ease the notion of the sadness, Now what used to be a happy home done turned into some bad sh!t

There's so many lies being told throughout the media and people just run with the lies. They're numb to it. Too many followers, not enough leaders.

I listen to all types of music so I'm influenced by everything.

The beauty of having a studio is I can go in and record any time I want to, so you can always put down your ideas or whatever. You use your voice recorder and, you know, take your voice notes down and just preserve all the little jewels and gems when you're in there, putting that song together.

The music is first and foremost everything - no egos, no attitude, nothing - it's about the music.

When I leave a room, it's gonna be footprints of funk wherever I stepped, because I'm a soul-funk crusader.
