“I am super competitive, and I sacrifice a lot.”

“I represent the streets of Puerto Rico around the world.”

“Being real is what keeps me humble. It doesn't matter how much money I make or how much I accomplish. What's critical is staying real to myself and keeping my feet on the ground. That's what helps keep me going.”

“When I started to get all that money, I started to buy a lot of watches. I bought 6 to 7 watches, the rainbow Rolex... In a year, I had spent $3.3 million just on the watches.”

“Thank god 'Real' was successful, but I feel like 'Emmanuel' will be even more successful. All my ideas, I could put them to work myself, on my own time. I had more control, and it shows.”

“I don't just record to record.”

“Sometimes I want to listen to sad music, sometimes something fun and sometimes you're in romantic mode.”

“When I made 'Real,' I recorded it over the phone in prison. I did it in a week. I had no idea what it was going to sound like. I couldn't even listen to the masters before it came out, I couldn't listen to 90% of the beats. I recorded 21 songs in seven days.”

“I love Jordan's like, where I'm from like the Jordan's, having Jordan's is like really part of the culture so this is really essential for me.”

“I would like to record with Cardi B.”

“I love trap music and street music.”

“People think because I'm crazy, I don't know anything. My dad played bass with Hector Lavoe, with Marc Anthony, with Ricky Martin, with people who had nothing to do with reggaeton. I grew up watching him play all kinds of instruments. It's something I carry in my blood.”
