I could always hold a melody, but I was never like, I'm going to be a singer. So I'm able to use that when I write. I'm actually playing the beat with my voice. Instead of thinking about coming up with melodies, it's like filling in the instruments. So sometimes it's better to have beats with less melodies in them, because then I can play more with my vocals.

I feel like when you're an artist and you first come out - people don't want you to be as creative as you could possibly be as a musician. More so they really want you to stick to something.

I try to be true to myself yet still at the same time look at comments and look at what the fans have to say and kind of put it in perspective. I'm never someone whose not open for opinion, I'm always just down to make it work and see how we can do things but at the end of the day I always want to make sure it represents me. It's really about just being humble and not selling yourself on being there already.

In my position, I think the best thing I do is just keep girlfriend involved.

My personal favorite records might have to be "Keep It Rollin" and "360" featuring Meek Mill...oh and the Intro Is Murder!

I haven't stopped making music since I started at 16 and throughout the years I made a lot of different connections and had a lot of opportunities.

It just inspires me to release an album and know that I can work on a core fanbase. The grind: Just make good music and it translates.
