The best thing Jay-Z ever taught me was patience.

Roc Nation is such an incredible, unique team, especially in the music industry. Everyone genuinely loves and cares about each other.

When I was a kid, I'd spray paint my hair, cut clothes up.

For me, music comes naturally. I always just get in the studio and I feel like, wow, this is my heaven.

It's hard to balance all my projects because you don't really get to see a lot of family and friends. You have to sacrifice your social life and also a lot of sleep. You have to learn how to sleep off no sleep. It's like, what do you want in life? I always ask myself that. "What do you want to do when you're 40?" I don't want to work forever when I'm 40. I want to just be able to chill when I'm old. It's always been a dream of mine to have kids and make sure that they're all right.

I'm often mistaken for Spanish or Latin descent.

The worst thing is when a guy just looks awkward. It's not attractive.
