I've always traveled, man, so I'm always out and everywhere.

I feel like I kind of got my own lane, but I think if you mix T.I., Andre3000, Hov and Kanye you kinda get who I am. And I'm a huge fan of all of those artists, I grew up on a little bit of all them.

I can't wait until the record label feels like it's time for my album to come out, and then just disappear.

I just continue to grind on my own. You can't deny good music at the end of the day.

I'm always looking for good music.

Atlanta is not like New York, where everybody piles into one place.

I basically lived through what could have been my downfall and survived it, so whatever comes my way, I'm ready.

When you stop fighting, that's death.

I love people where, at the end of the day, they'll pick up a paintbrush and paint clouds. They can physically make things.

With drooping bells of clearest blue Thou didst attract my childish view, Almost resembling The azure butterflies that flew Where on the heath thy blossoms grew So lightly trembling.

A deeper truth the camera can see can be more surprising than even the director imagined it could be. That's a wonderful thing that grows and happens in films.
