I'm giving good advice everyday however I can help. People will hit me up and ask me all types of questions. I really don't know too much except what I've gone through, but whatever knowledge I have, I try and give.

I think at the end of the day you can do both: make money and stay true to yourself. But a lot of young people look for that fame that some of these huge artists that they see on TV have, not knowing they can do what some of these underground artist are doing which is not selling their souls for a buck.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
