Young kids out here see what's on TV and feel like they can start rapping. They think rappers are rich and really have their own jets and Bentleys, but in lot of cases that stuff is rented.

I have always been the type of person to want to reach a goal no matter how far-fetched it was.

God is my spiritual guide. Half the music I come up with I really don't know where it comes from.

I like so many different genres of music that I guess it would be hard for me to pick one person who inspires me when so many people inspire me to make good music.

It's a beautiful thing to build your own fan base and pay the bills knowing that you're staying true to your music at the end of the day. I look at life like this, the sky's the limit!

My music should evoke a feeling; whether it's a feeling in your stomach, goosebumps, whatever. When you don't get a feeling then there's a problem.

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.
