My Struggles is a record close to me. It's about what I went through at home living with an abusive father.

I gotta feel like what I'm giving the fans is 100 per cent and that it's game-changing. I don't just throw out microwave records.

When you turn on your radio, you don't always want to hear about someone shootin' some person. Even if that's the lifestyle they live, people don't always want to hear it.

I like collaborating, but I felt I should do my first single by myself so people don't think I'm leaning on other artists to be a success.

I really enjoy writing and producing for other artists. Some people save their best songs for their own albums. I'd rather give another artist one of my songs. At the end of the day, it still represents me.

Music should be your escape.

I'm not a person that's walkin' down the street looking mean all day.
