My struggle and my story is very much so somebody that was just kind of [an] underdog. I didn't have any cosigns, I wasn't even really good at rap, I'm one of those dudes that was never just crazy and amazing, I had to work my f***ing ass off to get good at this stuff.

People know who I am, but I'm feeling so lonely in the middle area, because I feel like I should be at the top.

I've never been the type of artist to plateau or have a big peak in my career and then a big decline.

Not everybody is gonna like every track on my record ever!

I've also worked with various producers and artists around the world, which has helped with my international recognition. We've sold a lot of albums online in places like Norway and France. Sometimes we track my hits online daily and we are getting regular hits from people all over the place.

I think vulnerability is one of the most amazing things about music.

Look at somebody like Drake, the guy is one of the most vulnerable. He says exactly what's on his mind and that's why I respect him.
