“I don’t go in and just get to rapping off the dome. I think about it. I really think about it, especially when I make the story.”

I got a lot of names for my next project, ‘Vonald Trump.’ Nah, I ain’t gonna do that, but that sounds good.

With ‘Crazy Story,’ I thought it from the back to the front. I thought about the ending first, then what’s going to happen.

Rolling Loud, I wanna do that. I went to Rolling Loud one time with Durk, I couldn’t even get in. We ain’t have enough passes. I wasn’t even rappin’.

In jail, you just zone out, so that’s the thing. That’s like a cheat code.

I love cars and I love clothes, but I don’t really be going too crazy.

We’re the leaders. Look around. Everything we do, we’re gonna see everyone else try to do it.

They always compare my ‘Crazy Story’ to Meek’s ‘Tony Story.’

The plan wasn’t to rap. So, I got out for a year. I got back in the streets, back out here. Then, it wasn’t workin’, like, I kept going broke. I kept finding myself back at zero. I kept finding myself in trouble, so I told Durk, ‘I’m ready to rap now. I’m ready.’

Ain’t no point in stopping or slowing down. Ain’t like no ‘A’ight, I’m done with this, now take a break,’ you just keep going.

I ain’t really got problems with people.

I used to play baseball. I was playing even in high school.

Naw, I ain’t never been out the country. I been a felon for a minute, so there’s all types of restrictions on my movement, where I can go.

In Chicago, you know you got beef with everybody. In Atlanta, you’re chilling, but you don’t get too comfortable. Like, if I go to the store, it’s not like anybody’s gonna come out shooting at me.

I be talking to females but nothing serious, just entertaining everybody.

If you’re doing something and keep doing it, you’re gonna get better results.

The first time I do something, I’ll probably be good at it.

I always knew I wanted to be a musician, and I always knew I wanted to write, ’cause the people I was listening to all wrote. I never thought it was an option to sing anyone else’s songs.

I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.

I’m not too bothered about what category my music goes in and there’s no point in limiting in who you can reach, but I want it to be respected.

The music business would be much better, for the youth and the kids, if they start hiring employees that understand the kids.

If you’re nice to me I’ll never write anything bad about you.

The streets helps you a lot in music, cause it let’s you know that you can’t trust nobody and that nobody’s gonna wait for you. You can’t just sit there with dope in your pocket and think that people are gonna come to you. You gotta put the product out there.

I’m not anti single. I’m not one of them niggas that say “Aww record sales ain’t everything.” No. I wanna sell good. I would love a platinum record on radio and charts.

My style is boho chic. I love that time period – the patterns, the prints, the people, the music, the vibe.
