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

I'm really thirsty to go on tour! I love putting on a show. If the crowd ain't acting bougie, I love performing.

I'm learning how to work my voice. I got some songs that you probably wouldn't even know it's me singing on there. I will sit there and take 20 takes until I hit that note right. It's different on stage - you've got to hit the notes that one time.

All I had was a CD with beats. I wrote to every beat on that CD, and when I got off punishment, I put out my first mixtape. I passed it out all around school. I started going to the studio. I started doing shows.

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

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.

I was really artistic. I did a lot of poetry, a lot of writing.
