I always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers.

When you do 10 interviews in one day, and 10 different sources want to talk to you, that means you're doing good. I think about that every day.

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

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 don't like a girl on social media, when you have an open inbox, answering questions from dudes left and right, every day. What's the point? It's like having your number all out.

No matter how successful you become you gotta keep grindin' and be a good person and then good things will come to you.

I think artists should be able to do different things whenever they want and I like the way I am. I'm like - I ain't gonna say the only street rapper, but the only mainstream, new, young street rapper there is right now and I'm doing well with it.
