“Social media is so powerful now, and with all these blog sites and YouTube channels and videos, it makes it more and more relevant to bridge artists together.”

I turned down a lot of reality shows in the past, but MTV, back in the day, was just the coolest with Cribs to Pimp My Ride.

I’ve always been into dressing and being stylish because I feel like that’s where I gained a lot of my confidence and swag as a rapper, so fashion goes hand-in-hand with music to me.

Just because I’m a younger artist doesn’t mean I can’t work with a veteran and vice versa.

We look up for inspiration, down for desperation, right and left for information.

Tattoos, for me, are like a timeline of my life. I could look at a certain tattoo, and it reminds of me of a certain time in my life and why I got that tattoo.

You can’t hate/love others without loving/hating yourself first.

I wanna move on but my feelings too strong.

Kids look up to me. I’m not saying I make my music for kids, I do what I feel, its just a self reflection of how I am as a person and it relates to a lot of people.

I guess with the generation we live in, we just want to be entertained at the end of the day. A lot of artists make themselves accessible, so they feel like every artist should be like that. Some artists shouldn’t be so accessible, to me.

As far as business moguls, I’m always a fan of how Jay Z moves. He was just always very strategic ever since he came into the game.

You’re not just making music for your personal use no more, just making music for your homies around you; you’re making music for people around the world. Kids in Alaska – like, you’re making music for everybody. When I make music, I just think on a larger scale.

I keep telling myself that I don’t miss you and that I don’t love you hoping that someday I will believe it.

I don’t really do too many interviews – I like creating and being visual, shooting videos and movies. I just like showcasing my skill and challenging myself.

I am an artist who’s just tryin’ to do something different, and basically not caring about everybody’s opinions and wanting to follow what everybody else is doing. At the same time, I know when to be serious, but I know when to joke.

I’m a free agent so I’m probably gonna be signing a major deal that I’m gonna be announcing pretty soon, and a few good singles are coming out.

So for [Alexander Wang] to actually put me in a campaign, I was really honored. I’m excited to see how it comes out because I didn’t look at the photos on set; I like to just live in the moment and do what I do and let him and his people put their touch on it.
