My earliest influences would definitely be my father, just seeing him play in different bands and going to his shows and going to the rehearsals.

We live in an era where it ain't about dope rhymes. When beef is online, and how big is your co-sign.

I believe that being a successful rapper is probably attainable.

I know that in the rap game you've got a lot of people, that come from poverty, was born in poverty and if it wasn't for hiphop they'd still be living in that. So when I think of hiphop, I think hiphop saves lifes, hiphop changes lives.

I believe that, your art is like a time capsule for where you were at, where your mentality was at, at that specific or that particular space in time. A lot of times people want the same thing over and over again; I'm not going to give you that, I'm just not. So, I want my fans to continue to grow with me and let's take this journey, because it ain't gon' never stop.

Hiphop allows you to get your love ones, your family members up out of the hood and that sh-t sounds cliché, but it's true. So when I think of hiphop, I just think of all the opportunity it's provided, of all the places it's taking me.
