There's people who I admire like... Dr. Dre, Puff Daddy, Master P, people who built their stuff and are still going.

I just try to keep that connection to normalcy. I never want to lose that, being normal. People connect with me just as a cool, around-the-way type of guy. I never want to confuse people or go over their heads.

The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win.

I believe that you go through your past and you learn what you learn for whatever reason. I'm just glad I'm not making fifteen-year-old mistakes at twenty-six - I got that out of the way.

When you're from the East Coast or you're from the South, people expect you to sound a certain way. So if you don't sound that way, people won't label you as that type of artist. For me, I had a whole new lane to create for myself being from Pittsburgh and being a Midwest artist.

Tatted like a Mexican, fresher than a freshman.

Everything’s better when you’re high.
