Growing up, flute riffs was big in rap back then. It's what I listened to.

Future's like an older brother to me, and Thug's more like a brother my age.

That's what helps me in my career: I know how to relate to people, knowing what they want.

I naturally, when I make beats, aim for a darker tone just because I've always preferred those types of feelings.

Wiz is a cool guy, humble guy, down to Earth guy. You would really think he was just a regular guy if you didn't know who he was. But he still has a superstar aura about him.

I'm glad 'Honest' came out right after 'Karate Chop,' because I don't want to be seen as a one-hit wonder.

If I stay negative in negative energy, that's what's gonna come back.

Two people making a beat is really like one person making a beat. But you have another person's brain. So what might sound good to you, they could flip it a different way. It's really a collaborative effort, really.

Ain't nothing wrong with college, but I just feel like everyone's paths are different.

A lot of rappers are stars, but people like Drake and Lil Wayne, those are superstars.

Makonnen is a good dude. It's just good energy when he's around.

I just think about how much worse something could be, and I'm like, 'Alright, cool, whatever.' I'm nonchalant.
