You grow up inside these neighborhoods and these communities, and you have friends, friends that you love, friends that you grew up with since elementary. And you have their trust, and you have their loyalty. So it brings influence. So no matter how much of a leader I thought I was, I was always under the influence, period.

Being where you from is a strong genetic. You can't run from it.

I'm constantly thinking.

I felt like, what better way for people to understand me by taking the initiative in giving my real name, my name that moms taught me so y'all actually know what's going on in my life and my music.

If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?

If I'm gonna tell a real story, I'm gonna start with my name.
