Quote

I'm from the South, and there's a different understanding of how to chop. There's a syllable play. It's a delicate art. Your accent has a lot to do with it. If you're from a certain area, words don't roll of your tongue as slick.

The way I perceive an album to sound and the way I put out mixtapes are two different energies. There's a different focus there's a different sound.

Everybody needs a release. Sometimes people mosh at my shows. That inspired me to make records to get the people more crunk. People need a release and I enjoy being an artist that can do that for people.

Fans are all I care about - to be honest. If they stop coming to the shows, then I will get worried.

I definitely prefer intimate crowds. I mean, those are always the best shows, like, a small venue. Packed to the gills. Hot, sweaty. Those are always the fun shows.

I'm not ashamed of anything that I've done because when I did it, I was passionate about it and I was doing it for a reason.

Melody always comes to me first before words - cadence and melody. When you're humming the melody and it's incredible and words start coming out it can build into something special.

Hip-hop for me has always been hardcore and edgy.

I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.

I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.

Where I'm from is like 'Hustle Flow' versus '8 Mile.' It's that really grimy, box-Chevy, dope-boy, working-class music.

My grandmother, grandfather, my mom - we've always been driven by laughter. It's what held us together. Thanksgivings, any kind of family get-together, we usually end up in tears.

There's no real outlet for making Hip-Hop in Alabama. You need to travel to get heard. You really need to be working though. You need to be going at it every day and getting yourself seen, getting yourself out there on the road, doing shows, making music. It's all about being on your grind.

You don't want to get stuck with a record that you've done with someone that you feel obligated to put out - that's not really dope, just because you made an effort to get together and work.

Skateboarding is a part of Hip-Hop culture. I think it's the fifth element of Hip-Hop - emceeing, deejaying, b-boying, graffiti, and skateboarding. Skateboarders live and die on the streets. It's expression - it's everything that Hip-Hop is.

I can tell you that when you're willing to give your life up to see a dream through, the reward is great.

Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.
