The extra opinions and the extra praise is just a bonus, it's not the main thing. The main thing is how I feel about myself. And I feel really good about myself.

So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that's why I'm so happy to be back!

It feels so great to be back on the scene.

All I could think about was, 'I just wanna blow him away. I wanna make him proud, because I really wanna sign with Timbaland and spend the rest of my career making music with Tim.'

I think different struggles in life, not knowing how to deal with certain things that have happened in my life made me doubt myself. Painful moments in your life can cause you to go into a state of depression where you don't believe that you deserve anything good in your life. You forget what you were created for. But after a while I just got tired of feeling like that.

The more natural, the better.

I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.
