As I've grown as an artist, I've learned that my mission statement is really self-expression. I don't want anybody to classify my music. I want them to say, "This is somebody who's recognizing his true feelings, his true emotions, ideas, thoughts, opinions, and views on the world, all on one record." I want people to recognize that and to take it and apply it to their own lives. You know what I'm saying? The more and more I get out and talk to different people, I realize they appreciate that - me being unapologetic in whatever views and approach I have.

K. Dot was a kid who was trying to find himself in music, finding trends, um, bending towards - ready to bend towards what the industry was telling me to do and after you mature at a certain time in your life, you come into your own...your own niche, your own personality, not only as an artist but as a person.

Toronto's one of my favourite places. If I were to move anywhere out of California, it would be Toronto. Definitely.

I'm Machiavelli's offspring, I'm the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand, I juggle them both.

But what love got to do with it when you don't love yourself ?

You can have the platinum album, but when you still feel like you haven't quite found your place in the world - it kind of gives a crazy offset.
