I love the grind. Gucci taught me to never stop working.

No teacher ever skipped the student process... if you want to be a leader, you have to be a follower first.

I've just got to keep a balanced head and stay focused.

If I tell you purple look good on you, and you ain't never wore purple, your favorite colors are red and green, and you're like, No man, these my colors. You won't know purple is your color until you try it on.

It's like I have three different brains.

Jimmy Iovine, he pretty much started off as an engineer and a producer, and then he started up a label. Then he built his label to have big artists like Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. Then he started up a headphone company and made it a billion dollar business. He's a genius to me.

I'm looking at EarDrummers like a boutique label, like an Interscope or a Def Jam.

I have a 200-song catalogue in the streets and I never got any money off that.

When people question me about whether something is hip-hop, I ask them, 'Does it sound hard? Does it hit home? Is it raw and real?' If it is, I did my job. And you can call it whatever you want.
