Engineering and mixing are absolutely key. Once a song is done, for me personally, it's usually two or three days to get the mix down.

And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet.

I want to set the record straight for everybody who's been waiting to hear my music. The song that's out on the internet is an incomplete song that I'm still working on. When it's ready, you'll be hearing it from me.

I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.

In fact, I would advise against anyone doing reality shows. I won't be doing 'X Factor' just yet.

If there were no guns, we couldn't talk about it, ... You turn on TV, you see soldiers marching with guns. We only talk about things that's happening.

People aren't hearing all the music.
