![“The first song I heard from me was Meek Mill ["I Don't Know"], it was his first single before he went (to jail). I remember the first time I heard it was like eleven thirty at night, and I was like, "Yo, this is crazy!" And, I was smiling from ear to ear.” quote by PJ Harvey](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/46d/pj-harvey-3601_crazy_the-first-song-i-heard-from-me-was-meek_198080.jpg)
