I've done a lot of films that all have been pretty edgy.

Broke with nothing to live for and damn ready to die young. I'm the shadow behind the gun, look what I've become.

We, as artists, we have the right to express ourselves. That is our first amendment, freedom of speech. But I also believe that we have an obligation to the youth to be somewhat responsible in what we say on records. But I think that comes with age. I think that comes with artists growing up and becoming assured of who they are as people.

I went through a lot of phases and studied many religions. I am not into religion, I am spiritual.

That's the unwritten rule in hip-hop. If I get on a record with you, I want to smash you. That's it. Every MC knows that. If I'm on a track with you, I want to be the best on the track. That's just how it is in hip-hop.

Galley Molina's a great inspiration and role model for a lot of young kids out there.

My family was Jehovah's Witnesses, which is a really tough religion. It kind of deterred me from religion for a long time. They still practice, but I don't. But I always remained spiritual, and had a belief that there is a God. I'm trying to find my way, you know?
