“My journey is self-made because I came from nothing. It's the best fee...” — Dave East Quote

My journey is self-made because I came from nothing. It's the best feeling now, because I don't really feel like I owe anybody.

Where I'm from in Harlem, everybody look like a rapper.

I've been able to provide for my family, move out of Harlem and travel the world.

After the first three or four years of me taking rap seriously, it started to look more promising. I started booking shows and more people were playing my music, so I starting believing this could actually work for me.

I feel like rap fit me better. I could hoop. I could have went and did that, but this is my lifestyle, my temperament, my mentality.

Anybody can jump a motorcycle. The trouble begins when you try to land it.

The older you get, the more you realize you're drifting toward a direction, and sometimes your significant other drifts into an opposite direction. You can't blame anybody for it.

The queer community deserves a happy ending just as much as anybody else.

I don't think anybody deserves to be defined totally by his enemies.

You can learn so much just by doing, not by listening to anybody.
