When I do things with people it's not with the hopes of them coming back because that would be a selfish reason for me to do anything.

Maybe my records might make the next Ja Rule or Jay-Z want to rap.

God works funny so it might have just been meant for me to be an artist that doesn't sell two million records. Maybe my records might change somebody's life rather than sell thru the roof.

I get hit everyday with people everyday saying I remember this record from that, this changed my life or this record was playing when this happened so I'm thankful for that. On the other side I look at it like I got to do so many things in life I never thought I'd be able to do so who am I to complain about what position I'm in or not in. I gotta be thankful for everything that occurred in my career. That's how I look at it.

You're always going to need those folks that introduce certain things to the next generation and I fit in that sense.

I'm at a point where I let my mind go with flow of the music I'm making and it's not interrupted by me trying to please everybody.

Be mindful of everything going on around you and always be on point but don't be so on point that you lose that ability to be what it was that got you out there.
