I'm a big hip-hop fan since being a kid. It was the first music that spoke to me and made me feel like, 'Yeah.'

On 'Sufferer,' I'm talking about the younger generation that has no other option for success than to find a gun somewhere. I try to appeal to them: 'I know you a sufferer, but it doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't expect any better.' It's a lot different than from what I usually say, like, 'Get busy, shake that thing.'

Music is your own talent and is an important tool. Even if you don't want to be a role model, get ready to be in the public eye. Energy is there, you just have to use it.

I see dancehall reggae and hip-hop as fused together, When I was a kid, they were the two kinds of music that spoke to me and said 'Move!'

Sometimes you have to take a break from being a crazy kid. You can't be doing that all the time. Sometimes you just have to pay respect to your own simple-ness.

It’s about ladies, as usual. I’m telling the ladies I got the right temperature to keep them warm.

I feel like I have things to say. And that’s what I’m looking forward to.

I’ve been approached by many different people, but I don’t really want to be known as a collaboration dude.

I’m still working on my career, still trying to learn from other artistes and develop my skills and my style.

I know some very political people who rap, and they say very political things and they’ll never get a deal.
