I've always been my own person. I don't do what people want me to do. Like, if you want me to do that, I'm going to do the complete opposite.

You want the people to know, but you don't really want the things behind it. I have everything I ever wanted. I never wanted a big house. I never wanted a Ferrari. I mean, as I proceeded with the music, I started liking Ferraris...

The fans are probably the only thing I can really see that's real.

I've had two jobs my whole life. I worked at FedEx for, like, two days, and I worked at Popeye's for a week. I just needed a check. It was a standard thing for people where I'm from. Well, people from there that did what I did for a living, you know what I'm saying? Go get you a quick check when you mess your money up.

My whole thing is loyalty. Loyalty over royalty; word is bond.

I went to Paterson Public School No. 6. At the time, it was the worst school in the city. Ain't nobody want their kids to go to School 6; it was that bad. But it was where we lived. If you grow up in a bad area, there are bad things around it.

It takes a lot of people hours to make music because they focus so much on one thing. I just do it, and I make something you can just vibe to.
