To live in the moment is truly an art and is truly a talent, because when you live in the moment then you are truly the master of your whole life and you'll have the best times.
Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I've worked on - it's really about just being the artist I am.
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.
Working with Kanye is one of the greatest things ever. It's also one of the most nerve-wracking things ever. He's, like, the most critical, particular, artistic person ever.
It just makes you a better artist when you're with people who are great artists themselves. Being around Kanye, soaking up all the knowledge, all the stuff he got.
I write my own lyrics completely on my own. Sometimes I have people helping me with concepts or like choruses and stuff sometimes, but mostly I write all my own songs by myself, especially the verses and a lot of the choruses.
Definitely people like Kanye, inspired me to work hard. He's somebody who I've seen put that grind in over the years.
Seafood is one of my biggest pet peeves.
God made me in my beautiful form so I'm just trying to execute it.
I probably wasted a couple of thousand dollars on some dumb-ass clothes.
I think just dreaming big and having aspirations is important. So you know I want to be the greatest of all time at what I do and if you're not trying to be the greatest at what you do then you're not doing it for real.
Gettin' dressed up for court, that's a law suit
I feel like when you're a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you're a real person.
For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.
