I've matured as a person and so has the music... It's gotten more sophisticated and interesting I think.

I don't come to Toronto often, so when I'm there it's always special and rare which I think makes it very exciting for my fans.

I want to tell every fan that I appreciate them with a retweet or reply but I don't want my account to lose my own tweets. I don't my fans to have to go through a bunch of replies to get to my own tweets right? In the big picture though I do read all of the tweets and I appreciate all of my followers and my fans.

When you put a tour together you really just think about who you'd like on your bill, who would make sense and who you would want to live with basically for a couple months and be around with and work with.

I've put myself in this position where I haven't set myself up with a Plan B. I don't have a safety net; it's all in.

I'm a Gemini, so there's two people in me. Straight up. There's the nerd who is totally zoned out in the studio, EQ-ing this kick drum, raising this snare one decibel, or swapping this high hat out for another. Then there's the other side who's a performer. I have to go out on stage and be electric, a fire cracker, just run around the stage and give a show.

Life is good. I've got a apartment that is paid for with rap money. It's good. It's amazing. It's a blessing. I wake up every day and appreciate how much of a blessing this is getting to do this. But it is important to always stay humble, grounded, focused, and maintain that same ambition you had when you had nothing.

Thing is, I wasn't in the library, didn't study too much, didn't get the best grades, but honestly, I didn't party a lot either. I stayed in a lot.

I'm on this raised-platform-stage and I'm put on display, but at the same time I'm just a human. I'm just a regular person at the end of the day and, you know, I just want them to know that I do appreciate every single one of them.

In my dorm room, I was a hermit making music, I've always had a sense of urgency that I don't have forever to make this happen.
-
Lost in this young world, I'm just trying to navigate See the pie sliced, I'm just trying to grab a plate.
-
I think it's important to evolve and grow and take risks creatively, instead of repeating yourself and doing the same thing over and over.

If you're not putting enough time into the music, there's not gonna be a whole lot of it. So in my eyes, success is just being able to do what I love for a living, spend all my time doing it, connect with fans, and continue that for a long f - king time.
-
A song or an album is never really done. You can work on it forever, but knowing when to call it a day and knowing when to walk away from it is extremely important.

I think the special stuff [music] still finds a way to be heard, as long as you pair it with a good release strategy.

I always think I'm going to record a lot on tour but it's always hard to fit it in the schedule, and there's a whole lotta' other extra curricular activities that happen on the road.

I wear what I like to wear, I don't pick out clothes to try to fit in or whatever, I just like what I like.

What inspires me is the desire to be on. The desire to be successful. The desire to reach people through my music and make a living off it and never have to do anything else. Being able to do music full time and travel the world and share this music with everybody. That's the dream.
-
The biggest thing for me is the new music. I'm playing a lot of new music that is not released yet on my tours. Seeing the reaction to that is super inspiring.

I grew up on the bus, or riding my bike, or catching the subway, I've never had a car. In college, any girl I ever dated had a car, too.

I think any time you're at the end of a trip you're usually pretty ready to come home and start working regularly again.

I dunno, there were always people believing in me, but you just gotta be confident in whatever you wanna do.

I think it's important to say something. If you're making music it's kinda' like, oh, cool, so is everyone else.

I'd have to say the best part of being successful is being able to take care of my mom so she never has to worry about anything again and also being able to put my friends and people I care about in positions to win.
