I look at Large Professor as a big influence. I grew up with him and being able to grow up with him enabled me to meet Nas, Busta, Q-Tip and all these people I looked up to at the time. Even Large himself. He was a good friend but at the same time he was definitely someone I looked up to.

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.

I hope everyone continues to ride with me the way they have done. I could never repay you because each and every one of you changed my life.

I'm just the type of person that realizes that someone is always going to have something to say so I could care less about it.

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.

The public doesn't get to see everything. I worked with X a couple times since then. Me and X have a close relationship. We actually did a record they were going to put on the Training Day soundtrack but he ending up buying the record from me and putting it on Great Depression as a bonus track.

Hip hop is kinda funny because the further you get into it the more at risk you are.
