This album [Stroll] and all my songs that break barriers are more reflective of my personality.

I work with a lot of production that's really positive and contains a lot of soul stuff. Those instrumentals project the happiness out of me. But, sometimes I get a darker beat, with some dark piano or something... and then I'll do darker tracks.

I found myself at a time in my career trying to impress everyone. I was constantly thinking about what everyone thought of my music.

I'm working on a mixtape called I Made Hip-Hop Smile. It's going to be a free online mixtape. I think it's going to get some crazy buzz. We have a few marketing campaigns, that I think are going to make it pull through.

I'm just gonna do my own kinda swag of kinda dumbing something down and speaking some knowledge.

I guess sacrifice inspires my vulnerability, sacrifice and just having good people around me.

Even if you don't sing on your tracks, if you know how to sing, it'll probably help you out.
