Hip-hop is a beautiful culture. It's inspirational, because it's a culture of survivors. You can create beauty out of nothingness.

Make today's solid ground out of yesterday's quicksand.

I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.

I have no confidence issues with the impact or the quality of the music. No one in hip-hop, before this point and to this point, with all due respect, has done this.

I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that.

Focused. I'm a hustler. And my hustle is trying to figure out the best ways to do what I like without having to do much else.

I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater.
