You gotta live life. You gotta enjoy life. I mean, I don't live on the edge.

I think people like listening to what I call trippy music but maybe next year it will be something else. I still have gangster tracks and real-life stories and situations in my music. I’ve been blessed because over 20 year, I never stopped doing what I was doing. It’s pretty much the same thing and I’ve never really changed anything up.

I just keep my ear to the street. I haven't read any music books recently, because I figure I read everything I need to know back when I was 12, 13 years old. I know pretty much everything about record publishing, radio stations. The only thing that's changed is you gotta keep up with social media. It's free promotion.

I'm still doing me. I try to come up with different concept for my shows, you gotta keep the people interested, but I'm still me.

It's not my business to raise anybody else's kids. Mom and Dad got to do all that.

I love performing, signing autographs, taking 'selfies' with the fans. This is just what I feel like I was born to do.

As a musician, you write and make music as you go. It's definitely in a great sequence. When you release songs, you think, "Let me make sure this goes with this so it's like a story."
