I think me leaving Detroit shaped my style. Me leaving, going to New York, going to L.A. and seeing what they were doing there. I think that inspired me more than what people were doing back home.

The reason I never wanted to sign with a big label was because I didn't want no one telling me how to make my music.

I want to be able to do what I want to do. A lot of times, the major labels, they can't see the vision, they can only see the dollar signs. So, it doesn't really work out like that.

The UK is always ahead of their time in music, and America always follows them five years later.

The most popular rap artists aren't supposed to be rapping about being broke.

From an early age, music was my only thing. You come from Detroit, you learn how to make the most of what you can do best.

I don't care about sex anymore. It's a headache. It's hard to trust people. You talk to a girl, and then she screenshots a text message.
