Triple 6 Mafia and Mystikal in Atlanta was one of my first shows. I remember how sweaty and smashed up everybody was, and it was so punk rock.

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.

I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.

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

My homies in Gadsden aren't as exposed as I am culturally, which is awesome - that's why I love going home. I'm in the kitchen with people who don't know anything but the simple life, what's important to them, and what's dope.

American music culture is black culture.

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