Sometimes I look at new artists trying to come out or trying to make their name and it's like they're coming into the game blind. They don't really know what the world is going to expect from them and they really trying to get in where they fit in but me I almost got the red carpet.

It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at.

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

When I hear my first album today I hear myself reading my rhymes but I'm my worst critic.

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.

You have to learn how to take an allowance.

I never wanted to do the mixtape circuit and 300,000 people hear it and that's a chapter of my life and when I do another album I'm coming off of that chapter but the whole world didn't hear that chapter so it's like I would have to start over.
