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 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.

I'm from my hood, and everybody knows me in my neighborhood, and that's cool, I can do what I want over there, but in other people's neighborhoods, I can't.

In terms of fashion, I think the biggest influence that I had was my father. My pops, he was really into men's fashion and read all of the magazines.

90% trust peers on social networks (even strangers); only 15-18% trust brands.

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 used to rap as a kid and people were impressed by it, so it gave me the drive to keep going. Everybody has at least one talent. I guess this is my talent.
