“[Positive mental attitude] is a practice, you gotta practice. I practice being still.”

I got plenty. You can have all my light, my shine. I got plenty. All my boys here, we working being creative.

106 & Park, Freestyle Friday, that was real pivotal. I feel like he has the right to do that, he comes from that era so he has the right to do that.

These Days I’m feeling real good.

I’ve been to Vancouver every year for the last four years, since 2011 when I came out with Murs.

I’m like Donatello. For real. You probably want to come play your joints for me get my condolence.

You had to look at it as sales, as costumer service. Costumer’s alwasy right, you know? Service with a smile. Those type of things so it’s just kinda in me. In my DNA.

People always known me for rappin’. So I guess that maybe just hindered me, like “oh well, I mid-as-well go long term with it.”

I don’t even really understand that concept of someone being ‘smart’ or someone else being ‘smarter.’ I think that except for the obvious special cases, we’re all equal.

Soul brother number 1+1 Gettin’ fed like where drugs and guns come from

No religion, I’m just so explicit, I coexist in places you would never know existed.

Me personally, I just wanted to do that to capture These Days.With DAY-lyt.

I really enjoy doing music because it’s a challenge to try to reach that frequency and connect with people and get them tuned to what you’re talking about. I definitely respect and enjoy that challenge.

I wasn’t really sold on being an artist until high school, my senior year. I was going to do the college thing originally.

Honestly I think it was gradual from the first time I came. It’s been a gradual thing as far as audience and response wise. I feel like I was conditioned for this type of impact.

Not even battling but just really known for rapping. Like I had songs up on Soundclick first, take it back.

I used to wanna rap like Jay-Z, Now I feel I could run laps around Jay-Z, Nas ain’t seen nothing this nasty, B.I.G. & Pac got it coming when I pass too. You got the mic, I ain’t the one you wanna pass to

It was my great good fortune, while I was still a student at college, to have possessed a copy of an English translation of his great work.

Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica.

Same with anyone who’s been flying for years and loves it still… we’re part of a world we deeply love.

Nothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being.

I watched those movies over and over when I was younger and the music is ingrained into my head. Nowadays, I’m still humming the tunes. It taught me the fundamentals.

There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape, a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet. There’s still time, but not a lot, to turn things around.

If we’d had Drew Brees, I might still be in Miami.

People still do not understand that a live fish is more valuable than a dead one, and that destructive fishing techniques are taking a wrecking ball to biodiversity.
