Musician

I never want to get stuck in the box.

You see so many musicians come and go. For me, it's really about the longevity in the music industry. It's not all about having a lot of hit records at one time.

When Drake sings, it makes everybody feel like they can sing. Not saying he's a bad singer - he's a good singer - but it just makes everybody feel like, 'If Drake can sing, I can sing, too.'

Everybody in the West Coast always like to hear YG, RJ, and Mustard together.

My real name is Dijon. My mom named me Dijon, so everybody used to call me Mustard.

I don't want to be known for only making ratchet music.

You can't complain about everybody that steals your sound. You'll be fighting for years trying to figure out how to make people not steal it.

I've been working hard to lose weight and become healthier overall. I even started putting the workouts on my Snapchat so my fans can see how dedicated I am to being better.

I don't really like listening to so much rap because I like to have my mind focused on what I'm doing instead of worrying about what everybody else is doing.

Being the new guy, you're gonna dress your best every day. When you're the cool guy, you gonna be like, 'Ah, I'm the cool guy anyway. I don't need to dress like that.'

I think it's good that producers are showing more ways to show their artistry and be more the artist, you know? Not just the producer in the back making the beats.

Don't just be a mystery to your kids. You need your kids to know you and know they can call you whenever they need you.

Dark music always works in a club.

Me and my little cousin DJ John John, we used to always be DJing in the house. We never took it seriously.

You see so many musicians come and go. For me, it's really about the longevity in the music industry. It's not all about having a lot of hit records at one time.

With me and YG, he could rap a hook, and I could make a beat around it. Ten minutes, we done.

I'm big on simplicity. I'm not too much on all the extra instruments.

I was taught to work for what I wanted to achieve in life.

I hear a lot of people saying my stuff sounds the same. When you're in my position, people come to you to give them the same sound in a different type of way.

When you're in this music thing, and you got friends involved in this, of course ya'll gonna have disagreements, and that's gon' be the outcome: we gon' fight each other.
