“I want certain things out of life. I want my grand kids, my kids’ kids, being able to inherit what I’ve worked so hard to build.”

What I wanted with that Ruthless state of mind,: just to show people who I am as a person and why I do what I do, and why I go as hard as I do go.

We’ve got a lot of people that support, but The Runners are definitely one of my favorites.

I wanted people to feel me as a person. I do this music for the people, man, so at the end of the day I feel like, [given] our state of mind and the state our economy is in

What I love about doing my concerts is always feeding off the fans and their energy.

We’re gonna keep on doin’ what we’re doin’, and we’re gonna get it by all means. That’s just what “ruthless” means to me. Everybody’s got their own definition, but I’m ruthless with this music.

Due to success I started losing friends.

We’ve got goals we’re trying to reach, and “Overtime” is the only way to do it, and “Champion” is the only thing we’re tryin’ to be.

Not only my favorite producers, but those are actually brothers, they’re part of our We The Best family. To me, they’re the biggest guys out, and the music they produce and the records they put out are phenomenal records.

Through my life, [there have been] a lot of devils and a lot of situations, so I’m just goin’ hard, maintaining, regardless of what people got to say about Ace Hood.

I had this one rock band I used to listen to, but I forgot the name of them.

The budgets are runnin’ low, the streets ain’t really got money no more, things are just dryin’ up; I just felt like people needed some motivation, so I took ’em ‘Overtime.’

I’ve always believed in self, I’ve always believed that as long as I believe, nothing else matters. I just put that type of motivation and that type of energy into my music, and I’ve always had confidence in my music as well.

My favorite movie, one of ’em is [Notorious]. I love Scarface as well. I’ve got a lot of mob movies.

I wanted “Champion” to accompany that whole growth situation, ’cause I feel like, if you go overtime, you will become a champion.

There’s a lot of people that try to come between my clique and try to stop what we’re doin’, but we got no mercy for ’em.

Money the root of evil guess I’m the devil then. God bless my soul to rest.
