A lot of people question how talented I am. But I'm a real dude and I know real things and I've seen real people get their head blown off.

I think everybody knows my sound because I'm me, you know? But, on your fourth album, I think you've definitely gotta show growth because I definitely don't plan on being one of those cats that fade off. It's always about growing with me; I grew up over the years.

My hustle is nonstop. I never stop hustling.

I guess now music is so saturated and so microwaved. It's, like, 15 minutes in the microwave and boom, you've got something. Nobody's putting passion or any thought behind it anymore.

Sam Jackson is like the Jeezy of Hollywood: He's for his people.

To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there - and bigger.

I never wanted to be a statistic. I never wanted to be that cat who tried and never made it.
