Musically, I want to graduate and become one of the greatest. You can't do that just spitting punchlines. I respect those people who say they love that old style, but it would be greedy of them to want me to stay that same person.

I just sit there and try to think of stuff that I could do that's a little different but still not step outside of who I am.

I'm in a wonderful position now because the rise of the whole Houston scene, the scene that we've been doing for years that people really didn't embrace a long time ago and now they're embracing it. It's good to be in the middle of that during the uprising.

I kind of grew up and started maturing.

America is fascinated with seeing people have nothing and turn it to something.

I just try to be more creative and come with something new because I actually care about the music.

Life is what you make of it. Don't make excuses - make it happen.
