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

I knew I wanted to be a rapper when I was, like, 5.

I don’t really feel like I done made it all the way. I feel like, ‘OK, we did this. Then we grinded enough to get to this point. Now we gotta grind enough to get bigger and bigger,’ you know?

That’s what I feel like my music represents, having no limits or restrictions.

When I was little, I wanted to be a plastic surgeon.

I don’t feel like my sound is similar to any female artist that’s out right now, so I definitely feel like we just need some Texas flavor.

I’ve been writing since I was maybe seven.

I’ma just rap and do me.

Me and Kehlani have music together, and I love her.

Since you wanna test them waters, might as well jump in with both feet.

Just to know that the people in my city are really rocking with me, I just love it.

I definitely feel like people in the South are a little more raw. Our whole swag, the way we talk, When I go to the East Coast, people automatically know I’m not from there.

Girls, we have to go 10 times harder than guys. We are still expected to give you the bars, give you the look, give you the routine. This is me – I wanna be a rapper, this is it.

I was an only child so, at home, I’m turnt up by myself, doing whatever I wanna do.

Grind together and shine together.

He probably thinkin’ I’m in pain, but I’m really on game.

Houston is a place where you have to be the best. Everybody gotta be flashy, flashy. It’s not like a gaudy thing, but people definitely put on their best dressed even if they go into Wal-Mart.

Music changes, and I’m gonna change right along with it.

Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Let life be like music. And death a note unsaid.

Most musicians remain poor. But the music that they make, even if it does not bring them millions, gives millions of people happiness.

To me, I’m always trying to look for the energy, to imagine in being played on the dance floor. I guess that’s the most important thing in making music for me.

The rhythm of life is a jazz rhythm

The most important thing is, when I do give the music, I’m satisfied with it, that it speaks for what I want to do.

Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you’ll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you’re gonna be rewarded.

Music is a hidden arithmetic exercise of the soul, which does not know that it is counting.
