Rap is from the streets and I'm from the streets. That's why a lot of people accept me.

I got caught up on drugs for a few years, I'm off it, I'm very happy, got two kids and a family and everything. And like I said I'm making the underground music, and keeping it real.

I like Cleveland. I like the Cavaliers. Nothing wrong with Cleveland. I have lots of friends there.

If you grew up in my generation, you're going to be influenced by Run DMC, the Beastie Boys and also listen to Metallica - it wasn't segregated anymore.

I just kept it real and had the freedom to do what I want. It's not designed for any age group. It's not made for radio. There are no edits. The whole album contains explicit lyrics but that's because you need it.

Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.

I don't have any reason to hate anybody; I believe in good karma and spreading good energy.
