I don't talk about these things if I haven't lived them, and I've hurt people in my life. It's something I still have to think about when I sleep at night.

We look so much on color that we forget about the soul.

My mom's one of 13 siblings, and they all got six kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton.

There's a lot of other artists doing things outside of that depth that I enjoy - that music that I can actually have fun to, and not be in depth and think about, then I appreciate that.

You really can't categorize my music, it's human music.

There's kids out there that have so much life to live. That's a beautiful thing.

I started doing music when I was thirteen; I actually started writing my first rhymes.
