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

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

It was dope to the point where I felt like Common almost admired me as much as I admired him. He took us to the hotel, and then he was going through his phone, rapping his raps to me. I was like, Is Common rapping to me right now, trying to get my feedback?

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.

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

I like to go in the corner, in the quiet, 'cause I got to hear my thoughts. If I hear the beat for, like, five seconds, I basically got the tempo, and I don't need to hear it no more. I just focus and write.

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