I'm working on this fashion line that's all inspired by Vietnam. I'm Vietnamese so a lot of the clothes are inspired by Vietnamese culture, and I'm trying to mix that with the streetwear style.

At the end of the day, I don't know what makes any artist say what he says. Everyone has a reason for whatever it is they do.

I know what people want. I know what everybody wants - I know what the streets want, I know what the suburbs want, I know what corporate people want. I know what-all type of music these people listen to.

I could be going through something in my life that I might not want to talk about in my music because my music is the way that I escape some of those things.

Close your eyes, they'll never see your vision

When I started getting into West Coast rap - The Game, then I started studying a lot of Tupac Shakur and watching his interviews.

Doin' music, musicians and artists, we have the advantage of doin' something that is our passion. At the same time it's fun, and it's like a dream to other people, and live off it, feed yourself off of it. 'Cause it's hard, you know what I"m sayin'? You really gotta grind and you really gotta love and enjoy what you do, if you're gonna make it. 'Cause if you don't believe in yourself, if you don't got people believin' in you, people aren't gonna buy it.
