I like a lot of old-school R&B, soul, and classic rock.

'Khalifa' is Arabic, it means successor, leader, shining light. My granddad is Muslim and he gave me that name.

I don't have much but I take all I got and that's what I give, what I get in return is the money I earn and the life I live.

Honestly, I'm just consumed by the work. Everyday, I'm trying to come up with new stuff and do new things. I don't take time off. I'm always recording and working on my brand beyond just the music.

I just worked really, really hard to stay in people's faces, so it would be hard to forget about me. I'm just trying to stay popular and do the same thing over and over.

I've been pretty focused my entire life, and now that I have a family, I'm just going to keep that focus, but it's going to be a family focus.

You can take your destiny into your own hands.
