Used to tell me the sky's the limit, now the sky is our point of view.

It was just cool to see my friends so inspired, and I'm by no means the biggest rapper in the world, but I'm on my way up. I feel like I'm going to keep going and delivering good music every time. It was cool to show people that it's real to do what you want to do.

I'm not compromising myself in any way, I love just doing whatever I want and showing people it's real.

Being in the Midwest, you get the best of all worlds and add your own flavor to it.

I feel like you should be confident in whatever you do, and a lot of my new music [that's coming out] I want people to judge more so than the music I've put out recently, because I feel like it's really changed a lot.

You live and you learn, man. I've learned you can't wait on anybody. You have to raise your awareness yourself.

I work really hard - that doesn't mean I deserve anything, but it's really cool to see the positive reaction people give to something you worked so hard on. It's one of the best feelings.
