It's just these moments in hip-hop where you feel invincible. It felt good hearing the music on the radio and in cars, skating rinks, and clubs.

You have to invest in yourself and your surroundings.

I'm the last person that wants to give away music for free.

There's no wrong way of doing art. It's an expression of the individual.

You know, I never did music for money. I did music to hear myself in the club, and to hear my creation on the radio.

I started off as a graffiti artist in the South Bronx. My tag name was 'Loco' because I would go crazy and tag anywhere I wanted, in the weirdest places.

When I was a barber, me being extreme was how I got popular: you name it, I was drawing it on someone's head.
