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

Just out here workin' hard and doin' what we do best: grind, hustle, and anything possible to create new opportunities.

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.

Everything is humble and positive energy.

I started doing shows in places that I couldn't pronounce, didn't know existed, and I've seen people that didn't speak English or Spanish rapping to every lyric and singing to every hook. I said, "This is the type of music that I want to do."

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

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.
