Musician

People think that money and fame fixes and changes so much. Money does give you assistance and resources in this life. But you think that life will become easier, and that's not necessarily true.

That's what media do. They make you out to be a monster.

People will throw stones and hide their hands and then get back and play victim.

I'm from downtown New Orleans. Downtown consists of the 7th ward, the 8th ward, the 9th ward.

Of all my childhood memories, I don't have any good ones.

My legacy is that I will hustle and grind. No one will stop me from hustling. I'll be where God wants me to be.

Reality is I'm sick all the time.

I'm so focused that sometimes I feel like I don't need to eat.

I'll tell you what bothers me. This music business is so crazy. They think everything is a game, or everything is a fad or trend to win. I see people saying, 'My next album is going to be my honest album, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, my deepest secrets, the soundtrack to my life.'

Who influenced me the most? I'd have to say Lauryn Hill, I think she influenced me the most.

Whoever wants to be caught up in my life, first of all, you should be living yours because I'm damn sure not worried about your life.

I'm a man of many emotions, so I'm a human being, and I think that's what people tend to forget sometimes.

I'm a human being and I'm a man, so don't disrespect me.

As an artist, I struggle with how much of myself to give to the people. How much I want my personal business to be judged.

We live in a crazy world. You don't know what's going to happen.

I think more than anything, my health issues were the biggest eye-opener for me. I'm doing better with taking care of myself, but I don't do my best.

Every lesson man, every, every relationship, every experience is a blessing. You learn from it, whether good or bad.

It always baffles me how people can lift you up so high and make it seem like they love you then you do one thing wrong and it's all of a sudden you the devil and you evil and everything you do from then on isn't right.

I have trust issues.

We all battling different things. Me? I'm just able to channel that through my music.
