Everyone's got that frustrating thing and that's a natural feeling, but you know I'm 31 years old and I'm happy with what I'm doing. You know I'm not rich, I'm not wealthy at all but I'm happy and I'm surrounded by the people and the things that I care about and it's good.

Hip-hop wasn't actually the genre that made me want to make sound, and I couldn't actually really pinpoint what genre it was. Growing up, my favorite music was my parents' music, and eventually I started to develop some taste of my own.

If I were a weaker man, I would have quit. Something is testing me, I'm not a religious man, so I'm not going to throw the God word around.

Sure there are people who do everything "I do my own beats, my own lyrics, my own mixing, my own mastering, my own art, my own booking, my own managing, my own merch" it's like... ya that sucks, it can't be very good for you, and might be why you aren't getting ahead because you really need to focus on the music where others should be focusing on those other aspects.

Money always talks louder than morality.

If you want to be happy in your life with love you have to realize nothing ever goes perfectly. Life fluctuates, life is a frequency, it's an undetermined thing, it moves and you have to be able to accommodate that.

It takes a lot of money to make music and get it to people. It takes a lot of time to make a record sound good.
