Whatever I do, I do it because I want to do it and because it's completely, 100% me.
-
Every day is new. It's just a new day. I look at six hours at a time.
-
Philly is more East Coast than Pittsburgh. It's closer to New Jersey and New York, so the vibe is way more fast-paced.
-
The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win.
-
When you're from the East Coast or you're from the South, people expect you to sound a certain way. So if you don't sound that way, people won't label you as that type of artist. For me, I had a whole new lane to create for myself being from Pittsburgh and being a Midwest artist.
-
People connect with me just as a cool, around-the-way type of guy.
-
I see myself as like the lead singer of a band or something.
-
I have a huge span of fans, some who know all my radio songs and are familiar with my popular stuff and then some who have their own personal favorites. When I do my show, I try to take into consideration all those people.
-
I want to be an icon.
-
There's people who I admire like... Dr. Dre, Puff Daddy, Master P, people who built their stuff and are still going.
-
I'm always hustling.
-
Every artist picks what they want to put out there, what image they want to portray, and what they want people to know about where they're from.
-
I always envisioned myself being a rapper and being in the game and having success, but you never know what it feels like or how you're going to be when you're there.
-
I think wherever you go, when people hear good music, they will react to it.
-
My live performance, it just comes from feeling an energy and emotion from the crowd.
-
Everything's better when your're high.
-
Even with whatever people want to label me with, there are so many other sides to me.
-
Yeah, baggy jeans are done. Nobody wants to wear big, baggy jeans. Baggy jeans are completely over with.
-
You don't have to be a certain thing to be cool. If you're white, you don't have to act black or whatever. Just be you and know who you are.
-
The most daring thing is to be yourself and to do exactly what you want to do at that point in time and not to be worried with what other people are doing or what's popular.
