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

I think our duty as American citizens is to be involved and engaged in anything that affects us. As an artist, I have to use my platform, and as a dad, a brother, and a black man, I have to be as socially woke and present as possible.

I've never met Eminem; you don't meet Eminem. He has his own secret service.

Depending on the story that you're telling, you can be relatable to everybody or nobody. I try and tell everybody's story.

Kanye took me from a kid who listened to music to a kid who lived music.

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.

People always tell me I'm the complete opposite of Chief Keef and act like I'm supposed to stop him from making his music. But I like Chief Keef, so it's always super awkward. I just make music I like.
