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.

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

I don't try to go to the studio and make a single. I just do whatever I feel.

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.

Things happen for a reason.

I saw a lot when I was young. The first time I got arrested I was twelve years old.

There is still consciousness in hip hop.
