I don't go to clubs and throw money and pop bottles. That's not my thing, no disrespect.

I definitely prefer intimate crowds. I mean, those are always the best shows, like, a small venue. Packed to the gills. Hot, sweaty. Those are always the fun shows.

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.

The best part of performing is the people. I love interacting with people. My favorite part is the crowd. I love rocking out with the crowd, that's definitely the best part.

I just want to make a classic. Classic is the standard. I'm just trying to make music that will last a lifetime.

American music culture is black culture.

I love performing. I love getting out there. It's kind of like why I make music.
