If you want to play piano, you just gotta love piano, and I loved the way that music sounded from the beginning. Always did - everything about an instrument I loved.

My hard work finally catching up with perfect timing

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.

When I played football, basketball and baseball, I was always a starter. I played baseball as the number three or number four hitter. Playing baseball, I was the third baseman or pitcher. Football, I was the quarterback. I was always versatile. It came to me naturally. It was always easy.

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

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