A lot that was happening in 2005, 2006, good and bad, the beats reflected it. It was a lot of money around. People was making music to throw money to.

It feels like all my hard work is getting recognized. It makes me work even harder.

Girls are like buses, miss one, next fifteen, one comin.

I value my core fans I got from the hood. I think a lot of things might hit home with them, like problems with the law or how I talk about partying - all the different topics I cover when I do rap. But I also value my suburban fans who take a liking to my music and like the way I change cadences. I appreciate all of them cause both types of fans push me to record all the time, both push me to give my best when I do a show. Both push me to be the best rapper and not just do it as a hobby, but do it as a job and take it seriously and put pride in it.

I hope my life is a testimony to show people no matter what you go through, how many hurdles are placed in front of you, how many bumps and bruises you get, to pick yourself up and be resilient and keep on trucking.

For me to be where I'm at now - you know what I'm saying? - a multimillionaire and to help other people be multimillionaires - I'm so proud.

I feel like you don't have to go through jail, that's not part of bein' a man.
