'Rent-a-tile' means when you go to a dance hall, some people take the middle of the dance floor and do their thing.
I don't want to do something unproductive with my time, so I decided to do something musical. So it felt good to say, 'Yeah, I'm producing.' It gave me a fresh vibe - inspiring in a different way.
Music is your own talent and is an important tool. Even if you don't want to be a role model, get ready to be in the public eye. Energy is there, you just have to use it.

On 'Sufferer,' I'm talking about the younger generation that has no other option for success than to find a gun somewhere.

It's a lot different than from what I usually say, like, 'Get busy, shake that thing.'
My lyrics come from my experiences growing up in life, trying to find out and express who I am. That's basically it. I'm not trying to be a prophet or anything like that. I'm just reflecting on life.
