I'm not a Reggaeton artist and I'm not a Crunk artist either.

Don't just give me an advance. I want a percentage.

I feel like I've been fighting in music and creating new ways and new opportunities to make things work even when people thought it wouldn't.

My whole thing is I don't take from Castro being an intelligent man as long as he is doing the thing that needs to be done. But the thing is at the end of the day you're not bettering the island. You're only making it worse. So, for me it's just making sure that people have the right to speak their minds and have an opportunity in life to better their life.

Humor is everything. Everything. Usually the negatives turned out to be the most positive for me. In the music industry, any other artist would have looked at the situation I was in and thought, "Oh man, this is not for me." I looked at it more like Darwin exploring the Galápagos Islands. You know - survival of the fittest.

Now, with the Internet, you're either five years ahead or you're five years behind, and the music game is catchin' up right now.

If you continue to work hard, let that be the fuel to your fire.
