I have always loved music.

Sometimes the best music is when you just put it out there.

I was a good student. By 8th grade, you've basically learned everything. By senior year, we was drinking, we was kickin' it, we was rapping. It wasn't really like business, hard work.

Once you start overthinking it, it's like it ain't a feeling no more.

Writing was something I always did but that turned into singing and rapping. That something that came out of my writing.

I used to do poetry and write stories and stuff - I never really had anybody standing over my shoulder, like, "What did you write? Let me hear it." I hate that type of stuff.

My daddy was the type that if you asked him, "Dad, am I going to get off punishment soon?" - he would extend it. It was like jail.
