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.
I feel like when you're a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you're a real person.
I'm not compromising myself in any way, I love just doing whatever I want and showing people it's real.
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.
I got a dream that's worth more than my reality.
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 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.
Gettin' dressed up for court, that's a law suit
For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.
Sometimes I feel like putting on a blazer with just a T-shirt.
