I have no trouble being a good dude because that's what I am.

Why you got your ass on your shoulders?

I have a song called 'Decisions' that features Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, John Legend and Common. It's about people who have made a decision to really stand by you as friends.

At the end of the day, man, you can't protect yourself from a haymaker that's coming in toward your face if you don't see it coming.

I'm trying to set up opportunities for myself so that I don't only have one outlet to go through and rely upon as far as a support system financially, emotionally and mentally.

I appreciate the additional additives and preservatives that help sell a project, but I'm sticking to what works best for me. I gotta sell the album live on stage and make people believe in the songs.

My making it is a combination of grinding, grinding, grinding and being lucky enough to finally get a shot.
