More quotes by SonReal
I live with all these people, I live with four people that are involved with my music and I call 'em my team and that's what we call GoodLife.

Goodlife was originally a ski management/athlete management company. I have a couple friends who are sponsored for skiing and my manager linked up with their manager. We worked out a deal, because they wanted to branch out into music and culture.

Privacy I think gets invaded when you start being honest.

A couple years ago it was really hard for me to sing, because there's so much pressure in hip-hop to be a certain way. My biggest thing right now is doing me, because I'm not like other rappers.
SonReal
I found myself at a time in my career trying to impress everyone. I was constantly thinking about what everyone thought of my music.

I'm kinda like a needle in a haystack right now cause I haven't blown up yet.

I'm just gonna do my own kinda swag of kinda dumbing something down and speaking some knowledge.

Its just tryna impress the world and then realizing that, that doesn't even matter really, you gotta impress yourself.

I'm just gonna be honest and if I feel something, I'm just gonna say it! Once I started doing that, my music just got better.
SonReal
This album [Stroll] and all my songs that break barriers are more reflective of my personality.
SonReal
I've also worked with various producers and artists around the world, which has helped with my international recognition. We've sold a lot of albums online in places like Norway and France. Sometimes we track my hits online daily and we are getting regular hits from people all over the place.
SonReal
I always use familiarity in my music, whether it's in my song writing or whatever.
SonReal
I think vulnerability is one of the most amazing things about music.
SonReal
Look at somebody like Drake, the guy is one of the most vulnerable. He says exactly what's on his mind and that's why I respect him.
SonReal
I think every rapper should know how to sing, like a little bit. I mean common man it'll make your rapping better straight up.
SonReal
I think the sports industry and the music industry are all tied in together.
SonReal
I work with a lot of production that's really positive and contains a lot of soul stuff. Those instrumentals project the happiness out of me. But, sometimes I get a darker beat, with some dark piano or something... and then I'll do darker tracks.
