“I want to be a superhero dad to where my kid feel like everything I do is nothing wrong.”

I don’t really know the logistics of a Soundcloud rapper.

To me, I’m on a whole different level of rapping.

I’ve become more advanced and I’ve enhanced my vocabulary. All around artist development.

I got more songs with Gunna than anybody – that’s like the only person who I’m around!

I was telling people like ‘My Dawg’ gon’ be the song that get me out there. I knew it.

I feel like whatever is meant is meant. I feel like this is already written.

I’m a rapper but I’m more of a hustler.

I grew up listening to everybody.

I always knew ‘My Dawg’ would be a hit, but I didn’t even know what a hit was. When I made the song I knew it sounded hard.

I want to let them know they can have this much fun by doing something legal like me rapping for instance.

The more I’m in it, the more I’m practicing and the more I’m advancing.

Like you might love watching basketball, but that don’t mean that you’ll get on the court.

I just save my money, man. I don’t even try to enjoy it like these other rappers; they having fun and they lit, but they gon’ be broke later on. I be savin’.

I can’t really describe my sound.

What I might feel like is hard work, another person is dying to do.

Every day I’m getting shaped and molded. Keepin’ on, being a better artist, and improving on this, improving on that.

My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.

My dad’s from there, and I have relatives there, but I don’t think I’ve been to Chicago since I was like 9.

I never got along with my dad. Kids used to come up to me and say, ‘My dad can beat up your dad.’ I’d say ‘Yeah? When?’

Yesterday, my son was out in the yard playing with his friend, and he hit his friend. I walked up to him, and I said, “Hey… We don’t hit”. He looked at me like, “Here’s your sign, Dad”.

Sometimes my dad even gets on this kick–‘You hate this country’….I have to tell him…I just hate being lied to.

Although my Dad was a talented calligrapher and both of my younger brothers were successful, I was the first one in my family to graduate from high school.

My dad always took to his heels when a nappy change was necessary. I am so much looking forward to our child. It is such a wonderfully exciting time right now.

When [my dad] was at the University of Michigan, my mom was a social-worker. As he rose, he voted for [Adlai] Stevenson initially. Then he voted for [Dwight] Eisenhower. Then he kept voting Republican until he voted for Barack Obama.
