Everybody is looking for a hit single but what the artists really need is an executive producer to help put better albums out.

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

The only reason I started using samples was because people talked about me not sounding like Kanye or The Heatmakers.

You have the rap industry trying to stay above water by giving the people what they want, but then you have the people who are partaking in it and seeing it and they want what they think these artist have.

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 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.

You can't have somebody guide you through everything - some things you have to learn on your own.
