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.

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

I'm bad for your health, like puttin' a pistol up to your face and blastin' yourself.

Before now, I've always taken my mixes out to the car and listened to them in the parking lot. I still do that, but more so now I'm listening to it on the Beat box, and I think people should give it at least a listen and check it out and see what it is.

You got to realise that when I was 20 years old, I had a house, a Mercedes, a Corvette and a million dollars in the bank before I could buy alcohol legally.
