My motivational music is any music that helps me escape. There are certain records that take you to euphoria, when you're partying and havin' a good time, dancin' with a couple people.

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

I don't wanna make hood music, I don't wanna make street music, I want to make world music, global music, international music.

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

My whole thing is just being a part of good music.

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

I always wanna be able to fight, I always wanna be able to go left when they tell me to go right, not because I'm being hard-headed, it's just me taking a creative stance. I have no problem with constructive criticism, but, at the same time, I have a problem with doin' the same thing that everybody's doin'. And that's the way I've found a way to survive in the music game.
