You could be Top 5 on iTunes, but for people to buy an album, they've got to have a connection with an artist. Every time I bought someone's album, it was about the connection. I was loving everything, from their raps to their style. I wanted to meet them.

I leave my circle tight in keep my family close.

I don't think I would change really anything about rap. Rap don't have no limits to it, and I like it like that.

I've been betrayed a lot of times in life. I think everybody's been.

Me and Kendrick [Lamar] have different types of music. He from a different coast; we ain't in the same lane.

I just do whatever I feel. Whatever the beat makes me say, I do that and I run with that.

First black president ever, and to be living while it happened - that's a good part of history. That's probably the biggest person I admire right now.
