I like to deal with things I heard about, ... People are always getting their house broken into around the holidays. That's when the crime rate goes up.

I think everybody likes a person that stands up for themselves. Nobody likes a punk or a coward.

Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing.

I think, to me, reality is better than being fake.

Whatever happened in the neighborhood. That's what I was rapping about. And that sparked people's interest. And that's what kind of put me on that path.
