I'm a spiritual man and I've always felt connected to Rastafari. I'm not a Rastafarian but I've got so much respect for the lifestyle and religion, and I'm so thankful I was able to meet some of the most influential Rastafarians during my Jamaica trip. They taught me so much and really helped me evolve into who I am today.

The message is always going to get through. Me being able to speak is a message in itself.

You won't hear any more alcohol songs from Snoop Dogg - unless I stumble upon some Hennessy.

In the black culture, certain kids are given nicknames that they roll with forever; the nicknames outweigh their real names. I'm one of those scenarios.

I'm destined to live and say things.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

I just change with the times. I really don't have a say in what's going on. Music was here before me.
