Notorious B.I.G. was one of my favorites. I started getting into hip-hop around the Bad Boy era.
It was just cool to see my friends so inspired, and I'm by no means the biggest rapper in the world, but I'm on my way up. I feel like I'm going to keep going and delivering good music every time. It was cool to show people that it's real to do what you want to do.
There are so many people with great work ethics that I've been around. I try and take the best qualities from the people I admire and apply it to my own self.
Man I just ended up on everybody guestlist. I’m just doing better than what everybody projected.
I want people to feel like they can do anything.
Man the life of a workaholic... You either on ya work or just workin on it.
My mom keeps me going, man. She deserves such a good life. I just wanna give it to her. My dad, too. My family, my friends, they keep me motivated. Just knowing my personal legend, just knowing what I'm supposed to do, that keeps me going.
Being in the Midwest, you get the best of all worlds and add your own flavor to it.
I just always stay honest with myself. All my stuff isn't boastful, but some of it is. But that's just the music, the art.
There's definitely a thin line between being tasteful and tacky. I feel like tasteful is very unique...it's not necessarily wearing a bunch of chains - that could be either tasteful or tacky. It just depends on how you wear them and what kind of chains they are.
Used to tell me the sky's the limit, now the sky is our point of view.
I never want to look back on life and say I wish I did something, and I don't want anybody else to do that.
Instead of thinking about work the next day or thinking about what you have to do, if you live in the moment you'll have some of the best times of your life.
I'm not that big, physically. I'm just big where it counts - I got a big heart!
