Privacy I think gets invaded when you start being honest.

I'm just gonna do my own kinda swag of kinda dumbing something down and speaking some knowledge.

I'm from a middle class family. I didn't grow-up rich, but I didn't grow-up poor. Each guy has to stick to his own story.

I'm really just tryna bring it home for my city, I'm trying so hard to be the best I can be on every record I do, every feature I do and every different city I go to.

My first official music video for "Who Am I." It's getting crazy traffic and a lot of hype. I got sponsored by a company called MATIX because of it.

I think my music has a big message, and I think when people really get into it, it does help their life sometimes. It inspires me; it's my favorite part about my job.

I'm kinda like a needle in a haystack right now cause I haven't blown up yet.

I think the new school is dope. Artists like Kid Cudi, The Cool Kids, Drake and Wale can come out of middle class homes and be on tracks with people like Jay-Z, who's from the hood and the street.

Me, personally, I'm just happy. I have a great mother. I have two great sisters. I couldn't ask for more. I'm healthy. I do what I love.

She can’t worry. She can’t ‘fix.’ She can’t love.

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

I've been lucky enough to primarily work for myself over the years.

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Don't blog what you don't own.

Is my understanding only blindness to my own lack of understanding? It often seems so to me.

A wise beautiful lake never desires to be famous, because fame dirty it! To remain pure, distance yourself from the reputation!

I try to give both my heroes and villains an emotional dimensionality which provides the motivation for their actions.
