Struggle is the enemy, but weed is the remedy.

My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music, give people something that can change their lives.

My mind runs I can never catch it even if I got a head start.

My mom missed meals on several occasions because there was only enough food to feed all of us. My mom didn't have a bed until I was 15 years old. She slept on a couch... I remember laying with her, like I used to sleep with my mom until I was like 12. I was a big baby; I'm a momma's boy. But my mom is my best friend, and never let me down, ever.

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.

I have to be ahead of myself so I don't just fit into the realm of everybody who sounds like me.

You sometimes think you want to disappear, but all you really want is to be found.
