I had an advantage because people would post me on blogs because I had co-signs from Kanye West, Def Jam, and G.O.O.D. Music. Everything I put out, the blogs would put up. When I realized that, I used that to my advantage and helped build my following on my own.
I feel like I definitely have a real sporty style, more so than a lot of people in G.O.O.D. Music.
You're in good spirits when you create and produce great music. All situations inspire music in different ways, man, from good situations, bad situations, depression, falling in love, falling out of love. I've been going through all those type of things.
My music is the essence of Detroit. At one time, we were the center of the world, man - Motor City.
People who tend to listen to my music have come back and said, 'Yo, this is my anthem. This is what I live by.'
As a crew, G.O.O.D. Music is taking it to levels that really haven't been done collectively. Kanye is someone who knows how to make classic albums, a true thinker. He got me in the mindset of being a true thinker and always planning out every move you got going.
G.O.O.D. Music is just real tastemakers, man. Kanye's a real tastemaker. One thing that I feel is tight about G.O.O.D. is that a lot of people have their own style, and you can see that. My style is different than Pusha's, it's different than Cudi's. But it's also slightly similar 'cause we have some similar tastes.
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
