I grew up in a Caribbean family household, so the parents are always right. My father smacked me up til I was 20. It was a strict household.

I'm hands-on with everything, always trying to reach the real people.

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

I'm cheap, and I'm proud of it!

My parents were Christian.
