You can't even tell, but a lot of the time your favourite rappers are wearing a bunch of fake jewellery.
I was born in America. I don't agree with 99.9 percent of the things America does around the world or at home, but I have no other home.

I'm from Chicago and that's where I created all of my most prized possesions, which are my songs.
