It’s definitely the biggest lesson – not to take things personally. But it’s also the hardest one.
My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music, give people something that can change their lives.
I have to be ahead of myself so I don’t just fit into the realm of everybody who sounds like me.
I’m trying to change the world.
I went out of my way to make ‘Immortal’ sound perfect. ‘Immortal,’ ‘Just What I Am,’ and ‘King Wizard,’ those are perfect beats. Not a lot of people can perform on them. I say that meaning they’re tailor-made for me.
I like Louis Vuitton accessories, but I’d never wear their clothes. No offense, it’s just not my steeze.
There was a moment in time where I was really focused on the Navy and I followed through with it – I passed the test. I was happy with myself because I was accomplishing something and I was really working towards a goal. That was the first true thing I invested my energy in.
My fans will tell you all day that I can rap. That’s all I need.
I’m a goofball and a comedian.
Ive always been ahead of the curve when it came to trying new stuff in the underground scene.
I’m a wizard and I know it.
I’m usually always thinking about the cons.
I like being a consumer. I’ll do collabs with brands I like, only because I would like something free to wear. But I don’t want people to dress like me, which is what you’re asking when you create a brand. The fashion industry’s just a super-duper headache.
I hated suits until I wore a Calvin Klein; they just fit me.
I used to take Sharpies and draw on my pillowcases, and then go to sleep on them and wake up with red marker from the drool all on my face.
I hate playing the bass, bro. I’ve been playing the bass because it’s there and I don’t want anyone else to play it.
Girls that I dated, it’s ok I am not mad yo Unless you stabbed me in the heart, no love ho.
I don’t like to power trip, but when you’re a boss you have to fight for certain things.
My background is not typical hip-hop. I didn’t grow up in the projects. I grew up in a single family home in a middle-class suburb. That doesn’t mean I didn’t experience hardship, but to me it’s not about that, it’s about the future and where we are trying to take it.
The devil tryna rip out my soul. Lost my soul.
In America, we’re kind of lazy. But in New York, it’s one of those places where you see the majority of people hustling. If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
