I'm a firm believer in my higher power havin' a plan, and he's never wrong, and he's not open to suggestions.

Music kept me sane. I love music too much. I'm too passionate about music to let anything or anyone come in between me and my love.

I get a lot of support from the West Coast. But I think that's beginning to change. I think, as the awareness goes up, and as I continue to be consistent, more people from my area come around, and they're converted into Joe Budden fans.

Where I'm at physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually usually dictates where my music goes.

Maybe I'm regular and the world needs to adjust?

You want attention, you want support, you want to be treated properly, and I don't wanna have to go anywhere and teach people how to treat me.

I could've never envisioned things goin' this way in a million years. But, I'm a firm believer in my higher power havin' a plan, and he's never wrong, and he's not open to suggestions. I'm sure that everything [has] happened for a reason.
