When you're choosing the track list and the sequencing, it's important to make sure that there's some strong concepts on there and that it matters and it says something... that it sticks with people.

In my dorm room, I was a hermit making music, I've always had a sense of urgency that I don't have forever to make this happen.

I think it's important to say something. If you're making music it's kinda' like, oh, cool, so is everyone else.

If you get comfortable, that's how you fall off.

I wear what I like to wear, I don't pick out clothes to try to fit in or whatever, I just like what I like.

I was 14 years old when I started rapping and I was terrible. I fell in love with it though and when that happens with me I become super passionate and go all the way with it.

I'm on this raised-platform-stage and I'm put on display, but at the same time I'm just a human. I'm just a regular person at the end of the day and, you know, I just want them to know that I do appreciate every single one of them.
