I only made x amount of albums in 20 years and to still be living comfortably. A lot of people and friends look at me and be like yo Ra how do you do it? You don't go on tour every year and you don't make an album every year, you chill with your family and watch TV. Everyone else is out on tour getting that money. But I managed to do my thing right with the help of my accountant and I'm still comfortable.

I always had deep respect for my peoples 'cause of the love they gave me and the know how that they showed me through the years.

A lot of reasons I didn't do records with people is because I never wanted their light to reflect on me.

It is what it is but I do me and I think people respect that. They see me out in the hood by myself or with wifey and I don't have no bodyguards.

I don't work out too much. I just do some pushups when I feel the right hook is getting a lil weak.

I don't want to put nobody on blast but in the beginning it's like somebody telling you somebody looks like you and you've been looking in the mirror your whole life and nobody looks like you. Same thing with me.

Whenever I write a song I see the whole song anyway.
