I take pride in my music, I feel like it actually does something for people personally, in their personal lives, so it’s real music and it helps people get through things like I was able to get through things.
Stay focused. You gotta believe in yourself. I think that’s the biggest thing I’ve been able to do throughout my whole career, even before I actually had a big career in this industry.
I define “grindin'” as just nonstop work! Nonstop work, nonstop progress. Can’t sleep during that grind – I mean, you get a little bit of it, but if you’re progressin’ at every hour, every second, you are grindin’.
That Scarface movie is just ruthless! His state of mind was like, “Yo, we’re gonna get it – we’re gonna get this money, we’re gonna get this, get that.”
Even though I’m out there as an artist, I continue droppin’ mixtapes, I continue doin’ this and continue showin’ DJs love personally. That’s why I continue doin’ a lot of things other artists don’t do.
