I understand that in the industry, a lot of it isn't real. Which is a difficult thing. Where I come from a lot of people are straightforward and I've had to learn how to not say exactly what I feel. Sometimes it gets frustrating being a person who says what he feels and what his heart is telling him. Every once in a while I fall into letting the industry get the best of me and not just saying exactly what I feel.

Maybe they just like me because they like me, and they don't like me because they feel like they have to like me because they like this person or that person.

I'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.

There's a lot of real unity - and a lot fake unity, sadly. I think a lot of people are going to get an opportunity to pursue greatness and pursue careers outside of D.C. Not everybody is going to make it. I think there's a connotation that there's a lack of rappers out there.

No days off. I'm a workaholic.

Jay-Z's my favorite rapper, but why can't I aspire to be better than him?
