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.

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.

The thing with me and endorsements is it's harder for me to get endorsements because of the simple fact that I want in.

I was taught in kindergarten: sharing is caring.

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

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 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.
