Recording is a lengthy process, but onstage it's completely different; tape is not running - life is running, and cannot be rewound.

I change my direction, I can't even help it. It's sort of like the fortune and misfortune of being a rapper.

I've always been aggressive and an underdog, and my dad was worried that I would always be that: constantly seeking inspiration from negativity.

I know what love is because I lost it at an early age.

That was how I got into music and art was being a battle kid from Jersey, so I didn't have these wonderful ways of learning commitment, dedication, practicing skill.

With freestyling it's not about "Say something funny!" That has nothing to do with it. It's about becoming quicker on your feet and knowing that your entire day can go into your rap if you're on it.

Being on stage, it's like, "Ooo-kay, now I remember why all this is going wrong or right!" It's very much my element.
