In life we try to grow and better ourselves. As an artist, I feel like I've grown tremendously.

I think there's always room for people to hear different styles of music, especially when it comes from the heart.

People in the record business would say, Well, Pras, you know, you haven't been out in a while, maybe you should get today's hottest producer or rapper to do something.

There's a lot of madness going on out there. Artists can only be what they are, but the industry only goes with what they think people wanna hear.

There's a harsh reality - nothing lasts forever. You have to be ready to grow, and grow fast.

I'm one of those firm believers that good music will prevail.

I didn't want to do the whole, get the hottest person thing. I wanted to make sure every record felt right.
