I own a mortgage company and a real estate company funded by the music. Florida is a kinda gold mine.

I have a very broad demographic, from the 8-year-old who knows every word to 'Ice Ice Baby' and the college kid who grew up on 'Ninja Rap' to the soccer mom and grandparent.

Stop, collaborate and listen.

It took me a while and a lot of hard times to figure out my purpose, I am so happy with my life. I just want to help make other people happy too.

I was born in Dallas, Texas, but I was raised in south Florida. Ice Ice Baby is about that area.

Act smarter than you are and always know where your exit is in case you get into too much trouble.

All my friends were black and Mexican. I was the only white kid in our group and had to work hard to be accepted. Year after year, we'd breakdance and we all became close and they labeled me "Vanilla" - like "Hey, Vanilla" and they knew I hated it, so of course they kept calling me it.
