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

Hip-hop for me has always been hardcore and edgy.

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.

Anyone can relate to struggle, whether you're European or Asian. Anyone can relate to having to get up and go to work and eat.

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

I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music; it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.

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