“I had to work a lot. I was doing YouTube videos, but I wasn’t getting a lot of love. How do I make a living off rapping when no one knows me? I got kind of discouraged. But hard work shuts people up.”

Growing up with a house full of women and seeing them look good no matter what they put on every morning just inspired me to look good myself.

I welcome criticism. I come from a – I wouldn’t say mean, but you’ve got to have tough skin to be in my family.

I’m a huge fan of hot Cheetos. I used to eat them for breakfast.

I know where I wanna end up. I’m ready to go, and I’m ready to learn. I’m ready to build, and I’m ready to establish my longevity.

I get extensions, but when they start to get spotty, I go buy wispy lashes and cut them up. I put them where the gaps are when I don’t have time to get a fill.

My dream is like a child and I’m taking all the custody.

I make music for people to relate to and to connect with me. I want to tap into different emotions.

I’m the type of person where I’ll take on anything because I like to work so much.

I don’t want to be super serious but I want to have fun with my platform. I want to touch people, I want to be relatable and let girls know that you can go to college and still pursue what you want after that.

How we grind make the weather change for us.

When you’re a college student interested in music, you hear all these rappers talking about dropping out. For me, when I heard someone like J. Cole rapping about school and staying in school, it inspired me to keep going.

I don’t jump to conclusions I gracefully fall to them.

I grew up all around the Bay, but I spent most of my time in Hayward and I loved it. It was a really big apartment community, there was a whole bunch of kids.

With a lot of attention comes criticism, but I’ll take that. I’m reaching all the goals I’ve set for myself, so you can’t say anything bad about that.

The experiences I go through, everything you hear in my lyrics is real. Good or bad, I take it all in and put it all on the mic.

I am the investment.

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t even happened yet.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Attention is something I’ve learned to ignore. This is what I do: I live my life and they document it.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.

We live in the most probable of all possible worlds.

One lifetime is not enough to live.

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
