I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.

I'd always thought that if I could get sober and stay sober, I would be able to have a career making music. My drug and alcohol addiction was the one thing holding me back. I had finally gotten the tools to stay sober, and it was just a matter of writing the songs.

I don't control life, but I can control how i react to it

A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.

Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.

Drug culture is extremely prevalent and probably most people know somebody whose life has been affected by drugs, if it's not their own or in their own family, they have friends. It's a never-ending process.

The fame and the money and all that stuff that comes along with it is all great, but that's not the sole purpose of why I make music.
