My mom had me at a young age, like 20, and she was the oldest child. All her brothers were seven and 10, so I was like a younger brother more so than the oldest child. I was the younger brother to all my uncles, so they were going through their childhood and their teenage years, and I was right there.

My core thing is gangster rap, but a lot of my music is melodic and carries a message of survival.

Lil Wayne makes good music. He's one of the best rappers.

I've been known not to bite my tongue.

I'm cool with doing shows with 2,000 people. I don't have to rap in a stadium. As long as I can provide for my family and my art and live comfortably and live well, then I'm good.

I'd be a liar if I didn't say I learned things from Jeezy. Hell yeah, I took some things, some pluses and some minuses, do's and don'ts.

I don't really know what a debut album is no more. As long as you got music on the streets, you've debuted.

My TV stays locked at 'SportsCenter.' That and 'Pardon the Interruption.'

There's some dudes that did Gangsta Grillz tapes who probably weren't worthy of it - their label just put up the bread, or they did a favor.
