I've always been into fashion and obscure articles of clothing, and while this first set of Hoods Up includes beanies, shorts, shirts, leggings, sweaters and duffel bags, that is only the first tier of what we are planning.
I plan to take Hoods Up to another level of art once we've reached the level of doing so.
We at Hoods Up aren't just about celebrities. I am a huge fan of a lot of artists and actors, although I don't feel it is necessary to put it on them to help sell the brand. It would an honor if anyone were to wear it, celebrity or not.
I don't think many people get second chances when it comes to the music scene.
I woke up one day, and for some reason all the hate and anger was gone.
I'm not disrespectful, I try to be polite.
Usually a video's fun, but after a while, after a couple hours it's like work because you've got to keep doing the scenes over and over and over again.
I stick to myself now on tours. I don't go out party, drink, smoke, do drugs. It's a dry bus. No one is allowed to bring drinks on the bus.
It's better to have a voice without alcohol in my system from the night before.
My dad raised me on metal, but my first serious love was hip-hop.
Stay away from those who would hang around you and drink and do drugs. Drugs are not the answer, because you have to remain focused. There is a lot to be had within music, but you have to stay focused.
No one should do drugs thinking that they will make a great record. That's not the way to go, for sure.
