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

Me, personally, I'm just happy. I have a great mother. I have two great sisters. I couldn't ask for more. I'm healthy. I do what I love.

A couple years ago it was really hard for me to sing, because there's so much pressure in hip-hop to be a certain way. My biggest thing right now is doing me, because I'm not like other rappers.

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 think the new school is dope. Artists like Kid Cudi, The Cool Kids, Drake and Wale can come out of middle class homes and be on tracks with people like Jay-Z, who's from the hood and the street.

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.

That's one of my struggles as a hip-hop artist. If I feel like doing a super conscious song where I don't even rap.
