A mixtape is for the street, it's something you without necessarily thinking about it, because you have to stay in the game. It's like writing an e-mail saying hello to your friends.

When you see them be successful, however small, you say to yourself, wow. And everything becomes possible. Never denigrate, to say we will not succeed.

For a long time I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you're a kid.

I spend more time with Gucci [Mane] or Birdman than 300, but all this is just family. Who cares [about] contracts?

I just put anything on my back. I take what I have on hand.

Today I live in the suburbs, in a neighborhood [that's not] too bad.

I never write. Never! I do not even remember if I can write … This is a true freestyle in general. I put a beat, I said some stuff, I retain ideas, I do it again, with a particular intonation, I test, and especially I record live.
