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.

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'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.

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 evolve and grow and take risks creatively, instead of repeating yourself and doing the same thing over and over.

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.

Success is just being able to do what I love for a living, spend all my time doing it, connect with fans, and continue that for a long f - king time.
