You can't say I look like this person or sound like this person exactly because I made it my own. I'm pretty, pretty influenced by myself right now.

I remember, when I first rapped, I was writing raps. I don't write raps at all; I stopped early. I don't know -- it seems like every day I find something a little bit easier.

If I'm talking about girls and stuff, it's usually the truth. So now, you know, if you hear my songs, you are gonna appreciate it differently because usually, it's the truth.

I'm already popular in my city. I was just trying to get rich. Man, I'm not gonna lie to you; I didn't really want to go back to school. I mean, my family was mad about that. Because, you know, you tell your family you want to rap, and they look at you like you're crazy.

There's a lot of haters in Philly, but it's a lot of people that give you support -- but way more haters. It's definitely a great city to be from. But it's not really a lot of people that come out of there. So when you, like, make it out of Philadelphia, everywhere else is easy.

I just take rock songs and mix it with hip-hop and a little bit of RandB.

One thing I could tell you is that I'm all over the place.

I'm just doing me, and to me, that's what got me this far.

I played the coronet first, and then I upgraded to the trumpet. First song I learned on there was 'Hot Cross Buns.'

There's enough money for everybody. See, I can't do what Yachty does. But then again, Yachty can't do what I do.

I saw Marilyn Manson. He had, like, the platinum grills, and that's when I got my first ones. And honestly, I didn't even buy them. My grandma bought those. I paid her back right away, though.

I got different moods. Like, if I'm in a good mood, I listen to 'Up' by Thug. If I'm not in a good mood, I'll listen to 'King TROUP' -- that's a real emotional one.

Don't get me wrong: school is good and all, but school is way too slow for me. Like, super slow. So I didn't want to go. I wanted to learn on my own with real life experiences.

The type of music I make, it's not just straight-up rapping. There's emotion in it. That's why people feel each song differently. I get all my vibes from rock music, you know? All my melodies and all that.

I want to be as big as I can be. I want to be one of the biggest artists. I want to be remembered like, 'He is crazy. He is phenomenal.' I just want to be one of the biggest.

Wherever you're from, you adapt to your environment. It definitely made my music a little bit more explicit. Because I really was in North Philly, I listened to State Property and stuff. Everything my dad listened to, I listened to.

Atlanta is down south, the club. So the most thing played down there is club music. Everybody wants a hit.

The first album I bought, I didn't even buy it. My grandma got Mike Jones and Bow Wow's 'Wanted' a little later. Matter of fact Ying Yang Twins' 'U.S.A. Still United' was the first album, but Mike Jones was the first album I really love.

If you're you, it doesn't matter if you're the most boring person in the world: someone will like you. You're not trying to be anyone else.

Diamonds wet like Navy Seal Heard you drink lean, crack the seal Everybody know it ain't real.
