Life is good. I've got a apartment that is paid for with rap money. It's good. It's amazing. It's a blessing. I wake up every day and appreciate how much of a blessing this is getting to do this. But it is important to always stay humble, grounded, focused, and maintain that same ambition you had when you had nothing.

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 suppose sometimes the lack of privacy can be a little hard to deal with at times.

In a sense, touring is crazy. You go city to city playing the show over and over again. But there's something magic about being in front of people, so it's not like going through the motions every night. It's a different experience.

Less is more. Simplicity is awesome. That's all you need in life. Its just my personal philosophy.

I've put myself in this position where I haven't set myself up with a Plan B. I don't have a safety net; it's all in.

I think, back in the day, when I was first starting to make music, all I wanted to do was to get a record deal.
