Now I get exposure first with people directly in the clubs. This is a unique situation for me.

It's a wonderful feeling just being in this creative motif.

A lot of the hip hop artists don't write music. They write words.

I generally sell my records online or at the show. You can undersell the distributor and the stores, and people know what they're getting cause they've just seen you live.

I don't like rap that you can't understand. The youth is so quick and alert.

I was with PolyGram; that was the big label that I was with for the longest, like 12 years.

I've been sampled so much and I'm glad it's happened, it's a great compliment.
