When you do you, you can't lose.

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'm going to keep proving people wrong, whether it's my record label, other artists.

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

If you are not the member of any religion, it means that you are the member of truth!

We live with our archetypes, but can we live in them?
