Quote

It just inspires me to release an album and know that I can work on a core fanbase. The grind: Just make good music and it translates.

I wrote and concepted 99% of the ideas for Crash Landing and we reached out to a lot of different popular producers like Jahlil, KE, Kajmir Royale, Hit-Boy etc.

I almost feel like I'm still in a molding stage so the feedback and response not only inspires me but guides me in a certain direction as well.

What doesn’t kill me can only make me stronger

To be comfortable in your skin was the biggest topic for me because I'm somebody who's always judged just by how I look. I wanted to get the message across that you don't have to hide yourself or be glamorous, just be you.

I'm never too nervous about releasing music. I like to see what the people think because it helps me make myself better as an artist for them.

The videos are sometimes the only way for people across the country and different places to see and hear the music. They may not get the same radio stations or they don't get the same TV channels, they don't have the same MTV that plays the same music. People will use to the Internet and that's why YouTube and stuff like that is so important.

I would describe my style for those who haven't listened to my music as definitely..up-tempo. I try to have something nice, something people could dance to. It's kind of hard though to describe my sound in one record because I think when I approach music I try to do something different every day. Do a different vibe.

I still let myself be a fan of music and that motivates me to want to be better than certain people or just getting the same love. Nothing is new under the sun so you cant be afraid to take things from others and try to flip them and make them your own at the end of the day.

My agenda will never change from making good music and staying relevant.

It's not like I just take the beat, rap on it and take it for what it is, I always have the producer send it to me, loop the track out, move some stuff around.

It's natural for me to step into the beat-making side of things next in the future.

I love hitting the stage and I don't think I could trade that for sitting in the basement making beats.

I haven't stopped making music since I started at 16 and throughout the years I made a lot of different connections and had a lot of opportunities.

My personal favorite records might have to be Keep It Rollin and 360 featuring Meek Mill...oh and the Intro Is Murder!

I haven't talked to [Sterling Simm] personally about the situation. We did a couple retweets to make some noise and get a little feedback, but I would definitely consider it. When we had our session for the All I Know collaboration he played me a number of records, one being All These, that were crazy.

To me, Toronto is a good party city, I think Vancouver has the best smoke, you know. And then, Montreal has the best..uh..Chinese food?

[DJ Ill Will] already knew I had the music talent prior to meeting him in person, I guess when he met me face to face he saw the potential on a marketing level and believed in the music I could create to back it up so we teamed up and the rest is history.

I'm always thinking of ideas and sounds. I am waiting on something new and dope to inspire me.

It was a proud moment in giving me the confidence, that I was 'stamped' in the offices as much, you know, as I would get from the streets. To where it's like I'm getting the love from the streets and from the people in the building - and that's kinda dope.

Expect to get more than you expected [from Crash Landing project]. Expect more than a mixtape.
