I've just been watching other people's releases and learning from their mistakes. I know I'm bound to make a couple of my own, but I've got a couple ideas that I think are going to help get it out.

I hate doing features because rappers take forever to get you their verses.

Every artist obviously wants to sell a million records and do the MTV cribs thing, but I'm realistic.

I almost got my degree so I don't need rap. And my family is the furthest thing in the world from musical.

What a lot of people don't understand is that the music that they're hearing is usually months, and in some cases, years old. So I'm a lot better than whatever material people have been hearing.

I think mixtapes have been really important for keeping my buzz strong.
