I was never just a 'fill in 16 bars on a beat' rapper. I was making real songs from the jump.

Enjoy the best things in your life cuz you ain’t gonna get to live it twice.

I got problems, can't sleep at night. Cause your girl wanna come around and freak all night.

I don't really leave my house too much, 'cause I don't like... it's funny, I don't really like to be high and famous at the same time.

I'm gonna make music, and I'm gonna capture every aspect of being a human being. That's really all I'm trying to do. I think that artists and pop culture identities are used to simplify what it means to be a human and pigeon-hole people into looking up to one role model.

I just kind of kick it at my crib all day because I'm not famous at my house.

You can be labelled but if it doesn't speak to people then it won't work. The social media and online has been really important. Fans are really smart too: they don't want to hear something manufactured or something that has too much marketing behind it.
