“People know, lyrically, I go in, and you should never take me lightly on any record.”

“People don't necessarily expect singles from me. They expect full bodies of work.”

“I have to feel like my grandmother was my first mix engineer.”

“My music is definitely considered the kind of music you play in your car, that gets you from Point A to Point B. So, I understand how important it is to press up my music and give it out, hand-to-hand, just as much as it is to give it out on the Internet.”

“I always revisit duality because I think it's a conflict we all have. I think we all leave our house and go to work, and we put on the cape and become superheroes. That's what we do. It's how we move through life and handle negativity: you do everything you can to stay away from it.”

“I'll say one of my all time favorite albums would have to be Willie Hutch, 'The Mack.'”

“Favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch.”

“It seems like music gets put in this hub where you have to rap about this, and the minute you do something else, it's like you changing. Nah, I'm being creative.”

“The things that I leave creatively are going to stay here long past me. That's the reason why the album is called '4Eva Is a Mighty Long Time.'”

“You've got to keep being 100 percent, keep doing what's best for you and your legacy, and then build and help other people around you, too.”
