I'm just trying to show people that I ain't gotta ride off no movement. I can ride off myself.
You got to have a strong mind if you fall back. When you fall back, they going to count you out. So you got to have a strong mind and know your worth. When you come back, you've got to be different and even more better.
I'm really living my dream so if I were to change anything up, I probably wouldn't be where I am.
I don't wish jail on nobody, not even my worst enemies.
My message is just showing people how I came from nothing.
Everybody always going to sound like somebody. You got to separate yourself.
Once upon a time, I was really lost. I was 18 going on 19, and I was shy. All I want to do is get money, and the way I was thinking I was going to do that was a negative route.
I'm my own boss, you know?
I'll never stick to one sound, I switch it up.
When I do shows, I take pictures and make the fans feel like family. All of that really matters. That's the cheat code if you ain't got a hit.
'Trap House' is one of my favorite songs off '300 Days 300 Nights' mixtape, I sent it to Thug, he loved it and knocked it out on the spot in Atlanta.
I like aiming for the producers who are hungry. I don't chase the wave.
I rock with Chance, I rock with Kanye, I rock with Common.
I want my kids to be able to live comfortable and go to school and to be into sports.
I let my partners and my DJ listen to my songs and if they say, 'Oh yeah I felt that one' or 'I am feeling that' then I write it down and we just continue building the album from there.
I was 17 and out of school, living with my mom, starving, not eating, getting locked up, no focus, no guidance. When you ain't got no guidance, you can't do too much. But then I had my first son and started working. I got the right people around me.
I been living down in Atlanta, but everyone back home has been in my thoughts, especially those doing something for the community and all the neighborhood heroes. I thought about all the first responders putting their lives on the line to help out and it inspired me, so I took a jet back to Chicago to show my thanks.
It's either you finna create your own wave, you finna sound like me or you finna sound like G Herbo, you finna sound like Chance The Rapper, you finna sound like Juice Wrld. You ain't gonna get too far 'cause you sound like somebody. So, create your own lane and do your own style.
I would say I grew without a doubt. My whole energy in life - as an artist and as a person - has definitely got me smarter and wiser.
I made 'LS4TS2' for women, my Day 1's, the trenches, and all those that doubted me.
