When I was a kid, hip-hop had that effect on me, it was escape and it showed me a different way of life.

I like tattoos. I'm gonna be covered. I'm not going to touch my face or under the chin on the neck: it's my least favorite place.

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.

They say you waste time asleep, but I'm just trying to dream.

In the quest to be a man, you start to learn you need your family. If it wasn't for them, I'd be way closer to insanity.

I don't want to limit myself as an artist and only do a certain sound.

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