We all get distracted, the question is, would you bounce back or bounce backwards?

Got in the studio at sixteen, [and] that's when I felt like I wanted to make this a career. I had a passion for it.

I'd rather not live like there isn't a God Then die and find out there really is Think about it

I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn't have the recognition that I have now.

The people definitely shape the two, put stamps and classify mainstream and underground music.

I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.

It's a long time coming as far as the work that I put in. Now I know that I got the stamp but what counts is what comes behind. That's what's really important. Upholding that stamp and not only keeping the energy my way but also spreading that energy out to other artists that are coming up on the West Coast.
