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.

There's a crazy energy in Toronto. I think some of that may be from being a border from where I'm from and being so close.

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.

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'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 grew up on the bus, or riding my bike, or catching the subway, I've never had a car. In college, any girl I ever dated had a car, too.

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