I would describe myself as a hard worker, very humble and focused on whatever it is that I put my mind to.

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.

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

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

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