Both of my parents graduated from high school, both attended college, both have government jobs now. They've always been very adamant about me finishing high school and finishing college.

My dad is probably the most proud person when it comes to me, and we have a great relationship. If people have a compliment about my character, they usually say they can tell I was raised right, and that's the truth.

The weird thing about rap is that you don't get compared in the same way that athletes do, even though it's probably the most competitive sport in music. In basketball, they look at a player and say: 'This guy was the best in his prime at this sport.' But in rap it's not until you're dead or retired that people think about it like that.

Jeremih has been my favorite artist to collab with.

I'm light skinned, and I used to lean on that because that's something a lot of black people pride themselves on, and it's weird.

For me, performing is the biggest part of being a rapper. There's nothing like the feeling of screaming your story to people.
