Growing up, being a rapper wasn't my goal, but it became my destination.

I grew up always admiring business owners. I was always interested in knowing who pulled what strings. I've always been in love with the decision making process, not just the product.

It's hard for me to feel bad for myself because I'm doing what I love to do. I'm in a good position.

I'm not really the give TVs or turkeys kind of guy. I feel like we can do more good by inspiring people wholeheartedly and truthfully than we can just by giving them something because that creates a cycle of expecting you to give them something.

The past doesn't have anything to do with the future, only if you let it.

I can't compare my life growing up in Leimert Park to someone in Imperial Village Projects; we don't have the same options and I understand that. You do what you do based on survival and instincts. If I know something, I try to share it and give that opportunity and enlightenment to whomever I'm around, some people might not want to hear it but once you know something, you have the option to do better.

I can read your body language like a conversation
