I got my bearings, I began to focus. My mother was very supportive. When I came back to New York I landed a job at Hot 97.
I am going to do as much as I can do, because I hate to do anything and not give my all.
Go with the flow, but pray God keeps you afloat.
We have to remember that no matter how much hardship we go through in our life, there is always going to be that fragile place in our heart.
I love what I do because I get to talk to the people who change the game: the influencers, visionaries who make things happen in music and culture. That’s inspiring to me.
After you date a player or two it’s nice to just chill with a guy that can keep it basic.
I’m on the radio because I love hip-hop. I represent that community, but there are so many other aspects to who I am as a person.
Do you. Just focus on being the best version of yourself that you can be every day, and don’t compare yourself to anyone else or worry about what they’re doing.
I was hanging out with some of what my mother would consider the wrong kind of kids. With no direction, no motivation. I would hang out in the lunchroom all day, or the handball courts.

Imagine the first time you are about to rap in a studio and you find yourself in a booth with Redman and KRS!
It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you really strive to be better.
The people I chose to work with me on this album are there because I have a personal relationship with them.
Every weekend we’ve been trying to go out of town, to let people know about this album. I’ve been trying to host parties. It’s hard, because it’s a lot of work to do both.
I’m excited to join Power 105.1 in New York and The Beat in Miami and expand my brand even further in the coming months.
Always keep things in perspective.
I knew that when it came time for me to finally make my own album, it wasnt going to be about being a jock. It had to be more personal and intimate.
I went to night school and summer school, I made that whole year up and I actually graduated on time. Also, I got a part-time job at the radio station.
I’ve been doing a lot of yoga to help with my running, recovery, and mental clarity. It works great for me.
The projects I’m working on are all diverse, but each represents a different passion for me. I’m constantly looking to stretch myself.
