“For a long time, I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you’re a kid.”

It was stressful to live as a child in a Sylvian Hills. It’s always been complicated, honestly… I do not really want to tell you, actually. It bothers me that you want me to tell this.

I feel close to Kanye West. We’re friends, this is not just a working relationship.

I’m the type of person to put myself in everybody else’s shoes.

Feeling rich this week

This is the industry that wants music, the rap industry. You have to be on deck all the time, but you do not have the time to do the album. It is an energy; it must be present in everyday life.

The same image that I have of all the countries where I am supposed to go: it’s far, it’s different, it will be necessarily complicated, It’s another part of the world for me coming from the United States.

When you see them be successful, however small, you say to yourself, wow. And everything becomes possible. Never denigrate, to say we will not succeed.

Making it easier for them to count it up, real nigga.

I must have in stock 3000 songs you’ve never heard.

An album is a project with which you have to hit hard.

The best way to use the auto-tune is not to! And that’s what I do: I do not use auto-tune!

I spend more time with Gucci Mane or Birdman than 300, but all this is just family. Who cares about contracts?

It was Kanye West who spoke, and then we met and recorded some songs. After, you know what it is: we all bump like crazy.

You must not worry about leaks or pieces stolen on your computer. Just make songs, you gotta make music, keep stuff out. You may not know rap, but that’s how it works.

I know that everybody listens to me, but only my true fans will go and buy my album.

Use to get fly, but now I get pelican.

Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do.

Authentic men aren’t afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they’re sad, admit it when they’re wrong, and ask for help when they need it.

Whatever you put attention on will start manifesting in your life. Intention, attention, manifestation; that is how the universe works.

I love dressing up, and I’m aware that people do say that it can take your attention away from the game. But I disagree with this notion!

Learn to become still, and take your attention away from what you don’t want.

Mobilizing all the youth to develop Africa. It’s our time. I hope the world is paying attention.

So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual – and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.

You are the seashell planting your existence on the shore catching the attention of many even if they aren’t picking you up, but just merely walking by.
