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.

My favorite rappers are Lil Wayne. I like Wayne.

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

You know that I can make hits. You know I can do all these rap records. So, I'm going to start opening up and letting you know my struggles.

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.

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.
