I don't work a 9 to 5. I celebrate every day.

When I started going to middle school, all my friends were from my hood and were like, 'Listen to Nas and 50 Cent.'

I'm always in the studio. The studio is kinda like rolling the dice every night. It's like gambling. It's like buying a lottery ticket. The more times you go to the studio, it's just more lottery tickets, more chances you win on the jackpot.

The one very liberating feeling and thought that I have every day is that I can pretty much die happy.

I live the everyday struggle in real life.

It's cool to be an Indian rapper, but it's a challenge and a responsibility, too, because you have to represent everything the right way.

There's an album I did called 'Reckless' and that time is the perfect example of me not caring about music, me caring about everything else and forgetting about what brought me here. And that's why I feel like I had the results I did with that album.

I want people to see how much I really love music and what went into it.

You think you're a grown up when you're 13-years-old.

The craziest thing I've ever been called in my whole career is an industry plant.

There are some times that I see people just hate and I'm like, 'Wow, do I suck this bad?' And yeah it's probably the pressure of my race, that they just can't get over it.
