“My best friend died in a high-speed chase.”

“A lot of street dudes, you know their grandma go to church every Sunday. A lot of people in the pen, a lot of that come from them running away from that. They seen they grandma always going to church, mama always going to church, but they still struggling. This the reality of some peoples' life.”

“I met Kendrick when I was younger but he's not really the flashy type. You'd never know if he had a dollar or a million dollars.”

“I don't really sing... I just hear notes so I know what it's supposed to sound like, if that makes sense. You ever hear someone try to teach a choir how to sing, but they can't sing? That's me.”

“I just feel like it's a blessing to be able to represent Compton.”

“It's never guaranteed for somebody to be successful. It just really be God.”

“I don't play no one else's game and I don't run no one else's race because if I did that, I wouldn't be who I am.”

“I don't really be putting no limitations or projections on myself. I just go do it.”

“When a person go to jail, what people don't realize is you're alive, but you're dead to the world. People forget about you. When you go to jail, you're a story.”

“Oh yeah, I've got a good relationship with Marshmello.”

“Kendrick was a real big inspiration for me. I seen him when I was younger... 'Rigamortis' was out... maybe I was 14... I rapped for him.”

“I be on some, perfecting my craft, just making sure the music is all the way there.”

“I ain't graduate high school.”

“I used to tell people I slept on the floor, in my songs.”

“I don't believe in things that I can't see.”

“I don't really celebrate victories. Kobe Bryant just kept playing. Michael Jordan just kept playing.”

“I really just wanted to put out songs with people that I was rocking with.”

“I want to buy more property, start a couple of small businesses, and if my cousin wants to go to college, I want to put him through with ease.”

“My music is really my therapy. I really lay all my feelings into the songs, and really just leave 'em there. I don't carry that weight when I'm going throughout life. I'm not sad all the time.”

“Usually when my music drops, I can go to my hood, I can hear people playing it. Now it comes from performing it, people knowing it and stuff. It's crazy!”
