Social networks didn't exist when I started. Twitter and Facebook didn't exist. It was all about MySpace when I first got in the game.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I put my own money up when I have a vision and believe in something. If you want a company to put money into something, then most of the time, they want to water your project down. When it's your money, it's your vision from the beginning to the end result.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
In the past, being young, I might have been standoffish to working with other songwriters.

'Black Ice Cream' is a salute to the ladies with Black Girl Magic who exude a powerful sexual confidence.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I feel like music can be therapeutic for all of us - not just music lovers but the artists that create it.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I have a good cry once in a while; it's such a great release. Or it could be a cry of joy - watching your child being born or your child walking across a graduation stage.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
It's my responsibility as an artist and public figure to put the right frequency out there.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
'Footprints On The Moon' plans to inspire and incite positive and catalytic change.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
No diss to any of my homies, but I pay very close attention to what people say about me.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I've blown myself up as a revolutionary and conscious artist. As a philanthropist and a performer.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I'm constantly trying to create timeless music that many people can gravitate to.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
It's a world now where you don't necessarily have to be on the radio or be on the TV to be a star. Your audience can find you and find the music.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
When you make timeless music - and I like to think that's what I'm doing - the fun part is picking the songs. You can clip and flop and mix and match, and when the record is timeless and it feels good, you know it's going to have the same appeal whether you put it out now or 10 years from now. That's what I'm about.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I feel like every artist has a place in their mind, this place where they exist artistically. And I just want to take people to mine, and my place is called Loveland. In Loveland, there's no war, and there's peace.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
The best thing I can do is stay on the road and build a grass-roots following. I'm constantly about building my brand.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I broke out of my shell once I graduated from high school and got into college in my first year.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
All of my songs were about my firsthand experiences. Pretty much, I've learned how to become my own muse and take situations from my own life and wear them on my sleeve.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
Like, music and songs, what we do, we can capture history as artists, so that's what I really try to do.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
Anything that exposes the arts more, that gives us an outlet to make money and also do what we enjoy doing as artists and to connect with the fans, I'm all for it.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
Being in the public eye, I struggle to create and maintain romantic relationships. I am constantly faced with assumptions about who my significant other is, and it seems that there is always some speculation about my relationship status.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
If you are going to believe in the fairy tale of 'Mr. Right,' then you need to keep everything in perspective. Know the things that make you happy. Know the things that enable and/or hinder your growth.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
We all have friends that we confide in and talk to about our relationships. At times, we do not recognize the effect that this has on our relationship. We take a lot of what other people have to say to heart, and rightly or wrongly, it makes our way into our relationships.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
My mom and my grandmother are probably two of the strongest women that I know.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I am humbled and truly honored to be the recipient of The Key to the City and my own day by the District of Columbia.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
In this life, we are in a constant search for inner peace. We long for it in all aspects of our lives, both personally and professionally. The truth is that we cannot have inner peace without balance. It seems that having too much or too little of anything completely throws off our balance, therefore limiting our inner peace.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I like to think that everything I do is tastefully done and doesn't come off necessarily like ratchet or something that tears women down. I like to make tasteful, seductive music.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
Dr. Dre I've always been a huge fan of. The Roots as well. The Roots gave me an appreciation for live music.
Quote by -Raheem DeVaughn
I enjoy being slept on. It's like being on the verge of a cult movement. But making the underground-to-aboveground transition is cool.
