But there's so many things in life like women, like children, like God and family that transcends the world of hip-hop.

When you shine bright, some won't enjoy the shadow you cast.

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

As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don't. I don't think the label I'm on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they're gonna have to.

I'm not an artist that has a big, huge radio record that's going to be on BET. I'm not, at this point, gunning for like, "Oh, I'm gonna kill them in the first week." But as people slowly discover the album they realize it's better than a lot of what they've been listening to all year.

Just because someone has great content doesn't mean you like them as a rapper.

I think people are into me because of my music choices and my musicality.
