Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren't really about anything - which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.

No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.

How big can you be if just the underground niggas know you? You can't buy your mom a house when you just an underground celebrity.

Anything's possible, you gotta dream like you never seen obstacles.

Producing all my own songs and refusing to go to the hot producer. That's the biggest risk I've taken so far.

There's always people out there that's like, doubting me, you know what I mean? Even though I do embrace the people that embrace me and I'm grateful for them. But I always feel like, man, there's still people out there that's not giving it up. And I feel like I'm doing everything the right way, you know what I mean? I'm really going out of my way to do it the right way. I'm taking very few cheats - very few cheat codes that I'm using.

I'm not a conscious rapper, all those things we talk about, the struggle, the pain, the outlook to the future, keep your head up. I try to put all those positive things into a regular human character, which is myself.
