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.

Sometimes you start flowing and shits starts adding on to whatever cipher you're dealing with. Meanwhile you got all of these thoughts in your head and you don't get enough time to put them down. That's another reason I started writing from the last word to the front word. It's methods to the madness. Sometimes I can't understand it or explain it but it is what it is.

As far as our physical form, the mind is a great temple. But it has a life span and it dies.

Dabbling in music and being in music when I was young I had my own view of what I thought music was whether it was jazz, r&b, or hip hop.

I think it's a combination of my peoples that I grew up under, places that I hung out is what contributed to where I'm at now.

Playing the sax and then enjoying jazz music man. It's like I learned how to find words inside of the beat.

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.
