I'm taking all the negatives in my life, and turning them into a positive.

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

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 was taught in kindergarten: sharing is caring.

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.

If you look at any movement Hip Hop would be the most influential in the last maybe 15, 20 years.

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