Alex [Da Kid] does have diversity, not just in what he produces, but what he hears. He has this knack for finding talented people.

I love New York. I first came here with my Mom when I was in 9th grade. I took the subway for the first time and the doors closed between me and my Mom, and I was so scared.

Expectations are an evil thing.
