I'm from a middle class family. I didn't grow-up rich, but I didn't grow-up poor. Each guy has to stick to his own story.

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.

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

Throughout the whole Stroll album, I'm breaking barriers. Whether I'm doing acoustic hip-hop, singing my own hooks or singing my own verses... There's always going to be people who don't like it, cause they're stuck in their ways, or they just don't like you in general... but it's been good.

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.

Its just tryna impress the world and then realizing that, that doesn't even matter really, you gotta impress yourself.

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.
