Keeping my family out of prison best I can. That is success to me. I created that without selling records.

Just the responsibility of wanting to see my mother have a better life; making sure my sister had a better life. I went ahead and accepted that responsibility when I was young and it paid off. That was really the only goal.

I was blessed with the talent. God gave me the gift to put words together and make popular songs.

I really wanna work with Kanye West. He's one of the few people I haven't got to work with yet that I really wanted to.

I'm a real dude from a real place and I never express myself through social sites. I don't feed into it, man. That's not real life.

The first CD said exactly what it was. I was just in the streets hustling. I come from a family of hustlers.

I heard Russell Simmons say that, 'people have million dollar dreams with a minimum wage work ethic.' Basically, everybody wanna be rich but don't nobody wanna work for it.
