“My favorite song used to be ‘The Nasty Song’ by this dude named Lil Ru. That was my jam!”

When you go to college you can just be whoever you wanna be. So I got there and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ma rapper.’

I like movies that make you semi fall in love with the villain so you have sympathy for him.

I just want to be like a good example to somebody in the future.

I felt like my mixtapes were me flirting with my fans.

I feel like, when people realize that they are the only person they need to impress, everybody’s life will be a lot smoother.

A lot of people’s favorite rappers will literally get in the booth and just make sounds.

Lil thunder cat throws it back he can’t handle that.

We gon’ be a household name!

Yeah, I’m in my bag but I’m in his too. That’s why every time you see me I got some new shoes.

Before I do anything, I practice it for a while, and then when I know it’s the bomb, then I’m gonna present it to everybody.

He says he feel intimidated when he talks to me. Got that hardcore but he wants that R&B.

Hot girl shit even on my rest day.

I was raised by a woman who was her true and authentic self. So I feel like it’s very important to put on for people who aren’t that confident or people who don’t realize the value in self-love.

Being a rapper and still trying to pursue an education is really overwhelming sometimes.

I can’t read your mind, gotta say that sh*t

I feel like boys listen to my music. They just don’t like to admit it, but I go hard. But yeah, I feel like I go really hard, so why not listen to me? Anybody could relate to my music, honestly.

Unfortunately I’ve been to jail a couple times. Anytime I come in it’s difficult to make music, write songs.

I don’t judge too much as long as it’s good. As long as it’s good music and good artistry, I’m with it.

My goal is to drop 10 projects in 2013. All albums. I gotta do it. I know the 10 projects I want to drop.

I’m not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.

My mother is much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs – by the time I was about 17 – she started to believe in me, musically.

I hate the business part of music. Music is just like the streets. There’s loyal and disloyal people, people saying one thing and then don’t do it.

I let my music do the talking. Ain’t no TV show gonna help me. Ain’t no hit single gon help me sell no records.

I’ve pretty much done records with everybody.
