I feel like I've got the skills to be at the top, I feel like I've got the mind-state, so basically what I'm saying is there's people all around me, there's artists all around me that are in my zone, but I still feel alone. I feel like I can't relate to them as much as I can related to maybe somebody that was a little bit higher up.

I always use familiarity in my music, whether it's in my song writing or whatever.

I think every rapper should know how to sing, like a little bit. I mean common man it'll make your rapping better straight up.

My good friend Josh Bibby happens to be a pro skier and has used my music in 2 international ski films.

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