Some boy nuh know dis, dem only come around like tourist. On the beach with a few club sodas. Bedtime stories, and pose like dem name Chuck Norris and don't know the real hardcore.

Music is an expression of what's inside of you. And that's how I make music.

Nas is someone who can communicate with the streets and can still keep it real in terms of being human, he doesn't try to be this super perfect person, but has respect for his history and for his ancestors and for spirituality. So Nas always displayed that in his music, while at the same time keeping it hard and something that you can relate to.

I would never say that being Bob Marley's son has been a pressure. It has been a door opener.

I used to buy records in high school. Mainly dancehall: Super Cat, Buju Banton.

Music is not like sports, where you can go and do a hundred reps in a gym and come out and be all buffed up.
