The importance of one’s legacy is being you. The legacy of never forgetting your roots.

I just wanted to let all my people know that I’m here to stay, and also let them know that the streets would always win.

It’s pretty important especially because I didn’t choose that path, it chose me.

One really can’t be comfortable in this industry, getting comfortable makes one slack and relax when you need to continually strive and work.

I have to uphold it as best as I could. It’s not even about pressure, because I’m living life and making music on my terms.

I don’t just make music for myself. A lot of what you hear in my songs are stories of other people who come from where I come from.

I’ve experienced poverty and hardship. I’ve always been a positive person, but I know what hopelessness and helplessness look like.

There was no moment in my life when I ever thought of quitting music. I would rather just take a break, calm myself down, take a deep breath and go again.

Growing up in Bariga helped me; and I would even say it’s influenced my music in lots of ways. It allowed me to sing the reality – where I’m from and the genuine lifestyle.

The vision is huge. I don’t even know how to explain it. All I would just say is greatness.

I have to preach to the people. I have to let them know this is what we are all going through. It’s not just you. It’s not just me.

Sometimes I get to write. Sometimes I don’t; I just get into the studio and do whatever comes to my head. So I don’t really have one particular creative process. I just do music the way it comes.
