I’m gonna change the game by: Not trying too hard to change it. Everyone is so bent on changing the "game" that they don't spend a lot of time changing the sound of music, the creativity, etc. Honestly, artists who say they're gonna change the game, end up making it worse.

My goal in hip-hop is: To leave a permanent mark, and to create timeless music for the next generation.

I’d Like to work with: Creative and honest artists who don't give a crap about crossing genres and all that stuff. I just wanna work with artists who live music everyday.

I’m gonna be the next: Artist to raise the bar another notch.
