My favorite rappers are Lil Wayne. I like Wayne.

It's the timing. I don't have to do it [drugs] all the time.

I don't write hits for myself, or for other artists, or to just be writing it. I write it because I was born to do this. I was given this gift and I'm making the most of my opportunity.

I always hung around older dudes. I feel like I was more wise and I just had more knowledge of what was going on.

Sometimes it's hard to open up about your personal life, your relationship because you always want the music to be in the forefront. You want the music to be the biggest carrier of everything that you represent.

I've been on the songs of all these rappers that put out an album, and my music is still better.

My die-hard fans who came out - I call them my die-hard fans because any time a fan pays to see you, they have to love what you're doing, respect the craft.
