Me, l'm a weird person, so my music is kind of weird, but l want my music to be weird.

I want to get better at freestyling, to be writing better songs.

Everybody was down on me saying I can't rap, so I wanted to show everybody that I could actually do this. That's what motivated me.

I'm very optimistic about the future.

I'm not saying I'm trying to be the best. I'm gonna be the best. The best me ever. To the point where I can't lose at being me. I can't lose that life.

Carol City has its hot moments, and it has its cool moments. If you were from one area of Carol City, people didn't mess with you.

People used to laugh at me like, 'Hahaha, you can rap? You? We don't believe it!'

You can't expect somebody to speak out on a certain subject. If they want to say something about it, then say something about it. But artists have a choice. It's their choice. I choose the stuff I talk about, but it's not my responsibility to do it.

I've proved with 'TA13OO' that I'm versatile as hell.

If shoes are brought to my attention, and I like them, I'm going to rock them for a long time.

I'm not tryna save no one. I just hope my music helps, and I hope the message that's behind it helps people, you feel me?

My parents were really into music. They would play the Funkadelics, Parliament, OutKast; they would just play that all around the house. They'd also play Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, James Brown.

I went from following people to being on my own. Once I was on my own, I watched people start liking me, and I watched people stop liking me. Everything was supposed happen. It was all supposed to reveal itself.

I've learned there's a difference between friends and associates.

I listen to most South Florida rappers.

I listen to Robb Bank$, not only because he is a South Florida native, but that's my homeboy. I listen to him frequently.

If you look at 'Threatz' and 'Parents,' then you look at 'Zone 3,' all of that is nostalgic.

I'm a veteran at this point; I ain't no up-and-coming rapper. Up-and-coming been happened.

The fans, in their minds, they think once you signed a deal, you sold out. So, in staying independent, I keep my freedom, and I'm not selling out.

We're expressing ourselves through references to anime and things like that, but SoundCloud music is just music that happens to be on SoundCloud.

I grew up, like - since I had a lot of brothers, I grew up listening to Hot Boys, Goodie Mob, OutKast, basically all the southern albums, like Silkk the Shocker, Master P, Soulja Slim, and then it just elevated on when I started getting into music and I started listening to Nas and Jay Z and stuff like that and Lupe Fiasco and whatnot.

I'm sponsored by Nike and stuff.

The best Christmas that l had was probably when I got my Xbox. When I first got an Xbox, it was, like, the very first Xbox when it came out.

My upbringing and my daily day-to-day struggles and emotions make up most of my music.
