I went to South Africa - Durban, Cape Town, Johannesburg - and those were definitely the "I've arrived" shows. Outside of the money, the success, the accolades ... This is a place that we, in urban communities, never dream of. We never dream of Africa. Like, "Damn, this is the motherland." You feel it as soon as you touch down. That moment changed my whole perspective on how to convey my art.

The message I'm sending to myself - I can't change the world until I change myself first.

My lyrics say I have morals, I have confidence, I have weaknesses, I have strong points, that I am a human being.

Consequences from evil will make your past haunt you

My mind is living on cloud 9 and this 9 is never on vacation.

It's easy to forget who you are.

I think my vice would be outdoing myself.
