I think, it's so difficult to create a buzz anywhere, whether it be online, the streets, radio, anywhere, that if you are able to create a buzz somewhere, it definitely means something.

I'm not in a competition with any other artist, anything that's goin' on - I'm strictly competing with myself.

God I hear you giving me an earfull but I'm gonna cruise in 5th gear until I'm near you.

Why try to fit in when you a stand out?

I loved love til' it resented me, and if it's still a stranger then I love who it pretends to be.

It's one of my short-term goals, to be able to actually record music and release it simultaneously and not just hold on to it.

Mixtapes are extremely important, especially for New York or North East artists. They allow you to be creative, to get feedback and criticism, but most of all, it gets your name out there. I would say about 90-100% of my success was down to the mixtapes.
