I'm my biggest problem; I'm the thing that stops me most from doing what I need to do to be successful or to achieve success in whatever area of life. ”

I think people see faith as a section of their life, like, 'I go to church on Sunday...' but for me, my faith runs through the entirety of my life. ”

I think, for a while, my music was exclusively for those who shared my beliefs. But I realized I was perpetuating the bubble that I was living in instead of inviting people into my world. ”

I make it my business to be around people that don't look like me or think like me or act like me. I want to learn from them. ”

For some reason, we have completely separated Christians who are rappers, and we have separated, I guess, regular rappers. I feel that we should be able to mingle, enjoy each other's company, and trade ideas. ”

There is very little room for humor and personality in hip-hop. ”

I really think there are two genres of music: good music and bad music. And I'm just trying to be on the side of making good music. ”

I think 'Never Land' is, like, my first really strong attempt to create music... that can encourage people who share my faith but also challenge and intrigue people who don't. ”

I was wondering if any of my faith was real at all, and I started to let go of a lot of things that I had learned and say, 'Maybe I just need to start over entirely with what I have learned about my faith.' And that's what I did. ”

I think there are more religious overtones in music because these artists want to be connected to greatness. What is greater or higher than God himself? ”
