Jeremih has been my favorite artist to collab with.

I made the decision that I was going to make rap music in, like, fourth grade, so it's been something I was saying for a long time.

Chicago is a beautiful city - the architecture, the food, everything in the city is awesome.

Music can kind of make you one-dimensional. People see what's on the surface and what you rap about, and they make their decision on who you are from there.

It's important to go against the grain. My favorite celebrity, across arts and sports and everything, is Muhammad Ali. And he was famous for speaking inflammatory things that were polarizing but also were important to building who he was as a man and his legacy. And in the end, he was right about most of the s... he was talkin' about.

People wanna say that they're part Native American or mixed, or anything other than black. We're raised to believe that there's something better about not being fully black, something eccentric about it. I'm saying I used to tell girls that I was mixed, which is a bold-faced lie!

Fame or perceived success - it all comes from groupthink.
