For the last year, I had to get out of my bubble.

We've still got half of the world that don't know what I look like.

I was sort of retired, you could say. During that process, I was recording here and there. I put out several songs expressing myself to the fans and letting them know of my whereabouts and what I was doing. I gave them insight into my situation. To my surprise, the fans have been very supporting and understanding.

It is a blessing. When I first got wind of [Chris Rivers] taking the rap thing serious and wanting to make a career out of it.

When I first came back into the booth, I starting rapping.

Being gone for so long and coming back into the game, I'm the type of person to reinvent myself pretty often and I can adapt to pretty much whatever genre is popping at the moment.

Maroon 5 is crazy to me, I would love to work with them.
