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

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 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 just know that there's a spot for me in the industry.

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.

Even when I write a song, lots of times I think - I wonder what my dad would think of this song.
