I already had three strikes against me. One, I have light skin. Two, I'm from Miami, which wasn't getting looked at at the time. Three, I'm Cuban. But now, I've made everything that stacked against me into a virtue.

I'm sharp... What the street taught me how to do is how to hustle. How to make something out of nothing.

Music to me is something I did as a hobby.

I never worry 'cause people always try to categorize me. "Oh, that's reggaeton." "Oh, he's a Latin rapper." "Oh, he's crunk." "Oh, he's a Southern rapper," or, "He's a club rapper." As long as they're listening to the music and they're talkin' about it, one way or the other, that means I'm doing something right.

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.

One thing that's never gonna go, you know, go sour is good music.

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