I'm an emotional creature. I make music to express that.

For even in hell, I still have faith, To one day be free with my father at the gates, But make no mistakes, I'll show you what time takes, To be a success on earth, mixed with all the hate, I stand on my pivot, my life you could not live it For the things that I've seen have been too damn explicit.

I'm confident in my art.

I'm well known because I do music at a professional level, and a certain magnitude.

Snoop [Dog] is my favorite artist of all time. He's someone I look up to.

It's the same old thing getting lost Day 'N' Nite young and lost in the pain.

My background is not typical hip-hop. I didn't grow up in the projects. I grew up in a single family home in a middle-class suburb. That doesn't mean I didn't experience hardship, but to me it's not about that, it's about the future and where we are trying to take it.
