I always made a few records in the past - 'Aston Martin Music,' 'Diced Pineapples' - that the ladies would always be able to appreciate.

Where I come from - it's nothing to glorify.

Five years before 'Port of Miami,' I was to a point where I may have even felt like quitting... the style and the wordplay of my lyricism was more complex than what Miami was used to.

I created MMG years ago. My desire was to create a space where the most talented artists in the world could be nurtured and supported. With that came a commitment. I vowed to support these artists through the good and the bad.

Every day, the approach to life changes. And that's what music is all about to me.

It's pretty much a given known fact in the industry that before I was successful, I wrote for other artists.

Some experiences can give you a chip on your shoulder, but they also teach you the value of independence and looking out for yourself.

I used to eat big meals at 2 A.M. and base it on my schedule. But I don't do that no more.

If you're a battle rapper on the block, the emcee battle challenger, not writing your rhymes could really hurt you. When you're an artist where maybe the focus is really the talent and the different things you bring to the game, I believe it's more understandable.

I love the story of 'Lamborghini Doors,' a record with Meek Mill and myself - it came together when I went to visit him during his incarceration.

I remember the first time eating my chef's Caesar salad. It was just like one of those moments in the movie theater when everything gets quiet.

Being your best can only enhance your personal performance.

If I quit all the things I loved cold turkey, I knew it would only be so long before I went back to my old ways.

Really, every day is the perfect day to boss up. Every day that you wake up is a perfect day to boss up. It's all about continuing to put one foot in front of the next. That's what it's about. Whatever you think you're going through, just put one foot in front of the next.

My mom's a hustler. She a grinder.

Money doesn't make me - I make the money.

I'm a hustler. I'm the Boss.

Are you the person who just wakes up, puts your T-shirt on and runs out of the house? Or do you wake up an hour early - get your mental notes together, fix you a little coffee... prepare yourself for the day and try to do something really great? It begins with you.

At the end of the day, I'm the biggest boss. I'm self-made.

As an artist, you find at different times you want to do different things.

Anybody that really know me know that I love to make a lot of content, make a lot of music.

I just love Wingstop.

Rest in peace B.I.G. He was the greatest and made incredible music.

I'm a big chicken guy, and Wingstop chicken wings are my number one go-to, so I just got involved with the company. I purchased a few franchises myself. I like to consider myself a global brand ambassador.
