It was important that I became successful. People say they do it for the love, and yes, you do it for the love, but you want to be successful

What I'm trying to do is break the genre from what is rap and what is music.

Every generation is gonna keep changing, and you just have to embrace the change.

I decided to do what I do when I was 2 years old. At 2 years old, you know, I heard the sound of a drum playing in the village, and I found my own drum and just picked it up and started playing, the worst song ever written by Wyclef Jean.But it actually started a vibe.

My battle raps couldn't get me groceries from the supermarket.

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

You get quick money, it's beautiful, there's sunshine, but at the end of the day, you find out it's all a masquerade, baby. It's not what it seems.
