“These Days I’m feeling real good.”

I’ve been following battle rap for a long time. Me and Daylyt are real cool. We battled on my album, he’s on my album. We did a one round battle on my album and that was just me capturing These Days.

I say ‘cuz’ around Bloods, and I say ‘blood’ around Crips…I’m twisted. Got Mary, got Lucy, got Molly: that’s wifey, girlfriend and mistress.

I’m really focused on These Days and I’m trying to take it as far as I can – I feel like it’s a strong body of work. I just want to give it the ame kind of attention I give all my projects.

Battle rap is a culture. That’s boxing, it’s like boxing.

I have respect for the sport so I will contribute to the sport by encouraging artists .

King Of The Dot is huge; battle rap is huge right now. My first battle that I went to was King Of The Dot – shout out to Lush One.

I’ve been watching battle rap since that time period when Cassidy was hot, Murda Mook and Lux first when at it. That was a very pivotal time in hip-hop.

I feel like battle rap is as popular as it’s ever been, today. With Total Slaughter it’s getting real popular.

I’m just a demon that means well. Freelance for God, but do the work of Satan.

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.

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

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

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 saw someone peeing in Jermym Street the other day. I thought, is this the end of civilization as we know it? Or is it simply someone peeing in Jermyn Street?

My grandmother flew only once in her life, and that was the day she and her new husband ascended into the skies of Victorian London in the wicker basket of a hot-air balloon.

As victims of hurt, we frequently don’t bring up what ails us, because so many wounds look absurd in the light of day.

One day, though, I realized I was no longer a believer, and realizing that, I couldn’t go back.

Directing is monumentally complicated and it’s a function of all the time you pay to it. I think it would be great to do a movie I’m not in, I could just eat Fritos and just say, ‘yeah, it’s good!’ Some day.

Maybe living your truth will not make you happy all the time, but it will make you happy every day.

Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston.

Never give up your day job. I do all sorts of things, but at the end of the day, it all boils down to The Today Show,
