There's no real outlet for making Hip-Hop in Alabama. You need to travel to get heard. You really need to be working though. You need to be going at it every day and getting yourself seen, getting yourself out there on the road, doing shows, making music. It's all about being on your grind.

Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.

I'm never in the mood to eat or drink when I get to a show. I'm just too nerved out.

People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up.

My fans are like no other. Completely original people.

Hip-hop is the only music in the world where you can take any instrument and make it hip hop. It's anybody's music. It's what you make of it. That's for anything you do in life.

You can usually tell when people aren't being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists.
