The people in Atlanta, they're not really up on the blogs. A few people are, but it's not super crazy. In Atlanta it's still very much radio. When they hear it on the radio, that's what it is.

I want to always make sure I'm in good hands.

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."

I'm trying to live with no fears and not care what anyone has to say.

I'm going to keep proving people wrong, whether it's my record label, other artists.

I love pop music just as much as I like rap music, or ill-ass hip-hop music, or rock music.

Atlanta is not like New York, where everybody piles into one place.
