You have to be real with yourself. No one is doing that. People are too concerned with making everything look nice and calm and pretty.

Black culture is a fight. We want to hold on to what we are, but sometimes the things that we are can be totally negative. You have to think: can't we try something new and not be seen as suspect?

I don't talk soft, that's that other guy.

I feel like there's a lot of rappers that could out-rap me and I wouldn't want to face any of them.

My swag is always capital and live in north Virginia.

I hope a kid listens to my stuff, I hope there's a change made and at least somebody walks away with: "I'm doing this because I like it." People are going to hate it and that's okay, but I have to do it because my happiness is important too, it's worth it.

The only reason I'm able to do music is because I'm making money on 'Community.' If I wasn't, I couldn't pay for things.
