I basically lived through what could have been my downfall and survived it, so whatever comes my way, I'm ready.

I'm so blessed to be breaking through right now because, how do you break through now? It took a clothing line to make people recognize me, you know what I mean? So the next kid that doesn't have that opportunity what is he suppose to do? It's really hard to break through right now. You just have to keep dreaming and keep pushing and take those right opportunities. I can't express that enough. It's crazy.

Me rapping over other people's beats doesn't mean as much as when Lil Wayne does it - no matter how hard I'm going in.

I've got my girl records that are real feel-good and could be a radio crossover. But it's not me going in that direction, and being like, "We need this huge pop crossover record where we need this girl on the hook."

It's a big deal in my city to have a breath of fresh air.

If I'm going to lose, I'd rather lose on my own accord.

I use all of my bullets and my guns like I'm supposed to use them.
