Growing up in music motivated me. I applied that to my education and it made me a better person.

I think a lot of people can learn from listening to hip hop. It ain't always about beats and rhymes.

I just want to be remembered as a dope MC. As somebody who really covered a lot of ground and became internationally known.

I'm my own biggest marketing tool. I know the history of the business and I might as well capitalize on it.

When you devote yourself to being an artist, you have to stay on your craft and always try to get better and better.

You know the things I went through as a youngster, coming into the business, all the good, the bad and the ugly that came. I'd had a rough life. I grew up single parent. My mom, she was like a father to me.

The better you get, the more your legacy shines. I always just try to go hard. If you don't want do it for real, don't do it at all.
