I've matured as a person and so has the music... It's gotten more sophisticated and interesting I think.

I think the special stuff [music] still finds a way to be heard, as long as you pair it with a good release strategy.

I always think I'm going to record a lot on tour but it's always hard to fit it in the schedule, and there's a whole lotta' other extra curricular activities that happen on the road.

I see myself as a hip-hop artist, but I never wanted to make music for a specifically white audience. Thats not what I grew up around.

A song or an album is never really done. You can work on it forever, but knowing when to call it a day and knowing when to walk away from it is extremely important.

I don't come to Toronto often, so when I'm there it's always special and rare which I think makes it very exciting for my fans.

Anybody can have a great album in themselves but it's not until you bring it out and put it into tangible form and creating it and working on it in the studio that all of that comes to life you know what I mean?
