The economic crisis really affected my family - 2006 to 2011 were really bad times. Almost everybody in my family lost their jobs.

You're only as strong as your weakest link so you've got to make sure everybody in your crew is on point.

Luckily for me, I became a rap star so I'm making enough money to support my family. It's funny because that may seem like the only way that I can do such a task.

My parents are both definitely supportive of my career.They are both big fans of rap. They are really what influenced me.

Hate is a strong word. I don't really try to hate anything. Yeah, you could say I have a complicated, domestic relationship with America for sure.

I was never blinded by the American dream. I have my own dreams. You know what I'm saying? The Joey dream.

My schedule has not calmed down, but I'm definitely not so devastated as I used to be. Definitely cooler now. A lot of blessings have fallen into my lap, and I'm very thankful to receive all of them.
