What makes you a good rapper isn’t about being cocky or being the sh*t. It’s about having a good attitude, maintaining a good attitude, and respecting other rappers

Is we finish, or is we done?
I believe so [Laughs] is the interview over? NEVER. I believe so. I have no idea what we even talking about [laughs]

What do you have coming up that we can all look forward to?
I have an album coming out with Tuff House, an album with Nixon da Crook, and on top of that – everything I do is for a reason. Every show I do is about bringing people together and having fun, so you always have somehting to look forward to

What, to you, is “living the dream”?
I wanna take the money out of this, cause it isn’t about that. It’s when I can bring people together. Have my fans, my family there, we just sold out a venue, have a great time, pop some bottles, smoke some weed, and have people leave with their minds changed, That’s what it is. It really isn’t about dollars, it’s about that. I mean, if I could make a career out of it instead of having to work a sh*tty job..I mean, yeah. You see me the day of a show and I’m the happiest motherfuc*er out there

Shout out to my boy Maze Haze
