I have a luxury of people coming to see me whether I play for the crowd or not. I don't take that lightly.

Being called a conscious rapper is quite a compliment. It's a great thing to be. But as an artist, my nature is to not be in a box.

A true artist does not depend on radio for success. A true fan does not let radio determine what they support

I listened to a mind joint, and I wanted to do my own version of it, and what you hear on my mixtape is my take on what the whole CD sounds like.

Let me finish my music, and let me present it the way I want to present it. And then share it, put it online, do whatever you want to do after that.

I tour whether I have album out or not. I tour more than any other hip-hop artist.

The way I see it, if people truly love my music, they will support me in some way down the road.
