Hopefully the rappers can start to open the eyes in the neighborhoods and communities.

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.

I see my pops everyday and that's what I wanted.

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.

I don't accept that the new generation is looking for anything different than what we've always been looking for. Depending on the moment, they want bangers that make them crack their neck, they want tracks that put them in a zone where they can sit back and chill.

Now it seems like hip hop belongs to the people you see in the videos and radios. So I want to give it bring it back to the hood, make a statement for NY to put us back in our proper perspective, and of course let them know that Ra still spits fire.

Everything becomes too normal after a while.
