I'm not ashamed of anything that I've done because when I did it, I was passionate about it and I was doing it for a reason.

Skateboarding is a part of Hip-Hop culture. I think it's the fifth element of Hip-Hop - emceeing, deejaying, b-boying, graffiti, and skateboarding. Skateboarders live and die on the streets. It's expression - it's everything that Hip-Hop is.

I'm from the South, and there's a different understanding of how to chop. There's a syllable play. It's a delicate art. Your accent has a lot to do with it. If you're from a certain area, words don't roll of your tongue as slick.

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

Entangled between a dream and a coma.

You don't want to get stuck with a record that you've done with someone that you feel obligated to put out - that's not really dope, just because you made an effort to get together and work.

The way I perceive an album to sound and the way I put out mixtapes are two different energies. There's a different focus; there's a different sound.
