It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn't recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober.

I always felt that if I was going to do a movie, I wanted it to be authentic.

Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.

Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up.

If I'm not passionate about it, I can't write it. I can't fake it.

Nothing on 'Relapse' and very little on 'Recovery' was produced by me.

I do say things that I think will shock people. But I don't do things to shock people. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I'm going to be on this planet. So while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it.
