I feel like a lyricist is somebody that writes their own lyrics. Now songwriters and lyricists are two totally different things. You can't really be a lyricist if you didn't write your lyrics. There's no passion, there's nothing in it coming from you. It's somebody else's feelings and you just taking it and running with it.

I was with Mass Appeal solely for almost two years.

When I'm dead, gone or whatever, people will always remember my name and the music I did during my time.

I think my music is more personal than most of the music I'm hearing.

I just value my family's opinion as far as my music goes because that's the ones that really know you.

I never thought I'd be sitting across the table with the owner of Hennessy.

Since the '80s, Harlem has the place to go. Before the '80s, just as far as hip-hop go, Harlem has always been a strong point, fashion-wise, music-wise, all of that.

I want to put out music that everyday people can relate to.

I want to eventually get to a point where I can make all types of music for every type of crowd.

I always had a gift with writing. I can really write. I always felt like I can write movies or somehow get into that.
