I have no problem with thinking small. Sometimes you have to think small first in order to think big.

Half of the reason why people aren't able to succeed in life is because they hypnotize themselves into believing that they can't accomplish their goals, it's a mind game they play with themselves.

I want to sell tracks but at the same time I want to stay true to the music I like. This is why I love the underground scene because they can stay true to what they want to do.

I'm really just concentrating on making good music, whether it's using a sample or doing an original track.

I just look up to anyone who made music back then because you really had to be a musician. There were no samples or drum machines. Those people back in the day paved the way for people like me.

I don't have to be as big as Dre, Kanye or Pharrell. Nobody even has to know my face. As long as I'm getting placements and I'm making good music and able to support myself - I'm good.

I grew up listening to Commission, Kirk Franklin and Hezekiah Walker. If I was found listening to any rap, my pops would throw them out, or crush the CDs and tapes - literally.
