Music is magic. Music does s**t that money could never do. Music unites nations and stops wars.

If you give up, then you can never win again. Giving up is not an option. You cannot give up on anything.

Competitiveness drives my blood. I'm an athlete at heart and I just love the competition. I can't live without it. It's just a rush.

Outside of being a hit maker, I want to also be a star maker. Me being so young still as a veteran in the game, I wanted to give back to the youth and give back to my community. I want to find somebody that's special and birth them to the world.

Music is magic. Music does s**t that money could never do. Music unites nations and stops wars.

It's about being patient and working hard. People try to put the money before the work. You can't do that. You have to trust in God, trust in your feelings and the love of the music. Everything else will come.

If you look at all the artists I've ever worked with, I'm still blessed enough to have one of the biggest singles of their career. My passion is for them and I put my everything into these songs. i get into their life and what their aesthetic is. That's what's missing from R&B. People don't take it serious enough.
