I don't want to just be fully rapping my whole life.
First black president ever, and to be living while it happened - that's a good part of history. That's probably the biggest person I admire right now.
I just do whatever I feel. Whatever the beat makes me say, I do that and I run with that.
I got into music when I was 12, 13.
I think artists should be able to do different things whenever they want and I like the way I am. I'm like - I ain't gonna say the only street rapper, but the only mainstream, new, young street rapper there is right now and I'm doing well with it.
When you do 10 interviews in one day, and 10 different sources want to talk to you, that means you're doing good. I think about that every day.
I don't think about returning to the streets, 'cause I don't have any plans to return to the streets. I'm at another level in my life. Returning to the street - I still be in my streets when I get time to, when it's necessary.
I think everybody from Philadelphia been shot at before.
I've always been rapping before I was making money off of it. Before I made a profit, I had always been rapping.
I don't wear the see-through shirts or anything too glittery. I come from that '90s school of rap. Fitted caps, because I got a big head, so snapbacks don't fit me right.
It's cool when people know you more, but I like people to treat me regular when they see me. I take pictures. I don't really be big on people looking at me.
I'm into all types of stuff. I might have on Pumas one day, Givenchy the next. I'd wear this John Elliott sweat suit to the club.
My homies used to call me ' ions,' and at the time I didn't have no millions, so I ain't really want to be called 'Millions,' so I just shortened it down to . ' i,' my friends used to call me.
Everybody think they're famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.
