My hard work finally catching up with perfect timing
Everybody just needs a second chance.
I always hung around older dudes. I feel like I was more wise and I just had more knowledge of what was going on.
Sometimes it's hard to open up about your personal life, your relationship because you always want the music to be in the forefront. You want the music to be the biggest carrier of everything that you represent.
It's the timing. I don't have to do it [drugs] all the time.
I don't write hits for myself, or for other artists, or to just be writing it. I write it because I was born to do this. I was given this gift and I'm making the most of my opportunity.
If you want to play piano, you just gotta love piano, and I loved the way that music sounded from the beginning. Always did - everything about an instrument I loved.
You know that I can make hits. You know I can do all these rap records. So, I'm going to start opening up and letting you know my struggles.
My favorite rappers are Lil Wayne. I like Wayne.
I've been on the songs of all these rappers that put out an album, and my music is still better.
When I played football, basketball and baseball, I was always a starter. I played baseball as the number three or number four hitter. Playing baseball, I was the third baseman or pitcher. Football, I was the quarterback. I was always versatile. It came to me naturally. It was always easy.
My die-hard fans who came out - I call them my die-hard fans because any time a fan pays to see you, they have to love what you're doing, respect the craft.
