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

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."

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

Japanese music was so crazy! The J-pop and everything. I never scooped up an album or anything.

I don't want to be in the spotlight so bad that I'm going to sell my soul, or sell my creativity short.

I feel like I kind of got my own lane, but I think if you mix T.I., Andre3000, Hov and Kanye you kinda get who I am. And I'm a huge fan of all of those artists, I grew up on a little bit of all them.

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