I'm thankful to God that my life changed, but I'm also still on my grind.

I don't develop anything. I don't practice, I don't rehearse. I just go out there, and it's just amazing and unpredictable and spontaneous every single time. It's the most cultivating incredible performance that you can go and see live for the amount of money that you can see it for.

I started rapping because my mom died when I was about 11 years old, and I was a very rebellious kid. I've been kicked out of every school I've ever been in since 6th grade on, expelled and dropped out in the 11th grade. Music was the only thing that I could really use to express myself, so I started rapping.

I know why I'm here. I know why I was placed in music, and it's not by coincidence.

I just want to work with the big people and the people who make great music.

I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger.
