I always want to execute and maximize off of potential, and this is a natural progression. Coming up as a youngster, I always wanted to be a rapper, but I knew that if I did everything right as a rapper, I'd end up as an actor, following the models of Ice Cube, Tupac [Shakur] and Will Smith.

When you ask me who I look up to and who I can admire for their style right now, I have to choose from people that represent what I represent stylistically.

I aint dead, I aint done, I ain't scared, I aint run, no matter what, no matter what, Still I stand

Even when I lose faith in myself there is something in me that speaks through and says I am not finished yet.
