I'm one dude and when I make my bed I lay in it but don't stereotype me. Never sold a crumb to this day and I don't do nothing on the side.

Once I get the track I know what to do with it.

What I want to do right now is give hip hop back to the hood. Before it was a neighborhood thing where it belonged to the hood and the rappers were reporting and there were rules and parameters. Now it seems like the artist's game.

I go up in the supermarkets and people always go what are you doing here and I go I'm hungry in a sarcastic but nice way just to let them know yo I'm human too man.

I loved the hood and still love the hood but I had to realize like Ra you a rapper now you're in the public eye.

I feel that when we leave here I think it's just another transition and whatever it is I hope I'm prepared for it.

Subconsciously, Islam took over me so it was like eighty or ninety percent of the fabric of the person I was.
