Music really helps me stay centered. I can listen to music and forget about any issue that I have.

All of them fans in love with me 'cause I say what's real. So I could never give a f-ck how a hater feel.

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.

If I were a lame only just for a week. I'd look at myself in the mirror and shoot the first thing I see.

Small ideas that turn into big ideas - that really inspires me.

I don't consider myself an A-list celebrity or a big dog, but every time I meet somebody, even rappers who've been in the game for years... they're like, 'Man, I'm trying to get on your level.'

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