My music is just as much me as it is everybody else.

I never want it to be a point where I'm so comfortable that I'm slacking.

If you can stand on stage and perform a record, you should be able to stand on stage and captivate the audience without the rhyme. You should be a master of ceremonies.

Acting is something I've always wanted to get into - you memorize lines when you write your rhymes.

I want people who are going to rock out for the duration.

As much as I make my music for me, I make it for the people who rock with me and follow me. They're the inspiration behind it.

That's always good when you can bring out two sets of fans and supporters and then kinda cross them in between.

Working with Preme is always a dream come true. It's never like "I'm here and I'm comfortable." It's always like that very first time. It's a lot of jokes being cracked and we have a lot of fun.

People listen to the beat first. So if that doesn't draw people in especially with the audience I cater to, they're definitely about that production.

Once you get a couple of records in, you kinda vibe out then you see what a full length is.

For me, when I do a show is to make sure that I gain some new people.

It is a beautiful gift to be a creator.

For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.

I know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and I reject them.

True liberty is not the power to live as we please, but to live as we ought.

Whiskey will always be a part of my life.

The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove.

Everybody knows what love is in one way or another, and everybody has an answer of what love means to them.

Listen to the criticisms and preferences of your trusted "first readers".

Nobody really expects a Nobel Prize call

This perfection must come through the practice of holiness and love.
