I just wanted people to hear the sounds and fall in love and not overthink it. You get a 12-year-old and you'll get a 55-year-old standing next to each other in the audience. They're from different eras of music but they'll feel the same way.

I can't play guitar or piano. I can't even play dumb to get through TSA in the airport.

I'm a marketing guy at my core. If I wasn't doing music, I would still be introducing ideas on how I like branding and marketing.

I was never afraid to try female products. I didn't believe in those gender identities as it related to products.

I don't think of myself as just a rapper. But overspending on sneakers? That's a real rapper thing to do.

I say I design music. I can imagine it and sort of picture it. I think about all of the things I do in the world and say that I'm designing it because it takes the same skill set.

I am building an archive. I don't need for anyone to tell me that I matter. I am just going to record it for myself.

The 4-year-old me was getting laughed in school at for being too dark.

If I say I'm rich enough times and enough people say it back to me, I gotta be rich, right?

My journey is where I'm at right? It's the monopoly board of my life, and I'm making my rounds.
