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.

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.

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.

My career is a development and that's a big thing because when I decided this was what I wanted to do it wasn't like "I want to be a rapper, I love the words and the beats in my headphones" it was more I wanted to live for music. I love music and I just want to be around it.

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.
