You don't hear no artists from Compton showing vulnerability.

It's a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.

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

I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey...

The Universe energy doesn't lie.

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.

As long as my music is real, it's no limit to how many ears I can grab.
