I'm never too nervous about releasing music. I like to see what the people think because it helps me make myself better as an artist for them.

I haven't talked to [Sterling Simm] personally about the situation. We did a couple retweets to make some noise and get a little feedback, but I would definitely consider it. When we had our session for the "All I Know" collaboration he played me a number of records, one being "All These", that were crazy.

[DJ Ill Will] already knew I had the music talent prior to meeting him in person, I guess when he met me face to face he saw the potential on a marketing level and believed in the music I could create to back it up so we teamed up and the rest is history.

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.

I've seen people who don't have deals get features from people that labels can't even get features from, because you gotta show face and be in-tune with these guys who still have that independent mind set as far how you hustle yourself. Because they only really care at the end of the day about the dollas.

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

Don't be distracted by doubters.
