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.

Those who are quiet will always cause riots.

I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all, but when I got home, it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.

If you work at rap and look at it as an art, the money will come. But if you try to get the money, it'll just always be shallow.

I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.

Everything in my life has been about sound and making music, so Beats represents just that - the improvement of sound and the dedication to everything I've been doing from the day I started.

I believe in reincarnation, and I believe I've lived quite a few lives.
