I think my fans respect me for bein' as truthful and honest as you can be and still be Rap music and not be opinion music. It's still Rap, its still style, flavor, flair, and people just kind of like how I present myself and the things that I do.

No matter what part of the country you come from, you can always come together to make groundbreaking hip-hop.
