“I think taking back the term 'mumble rap' was important to me because I appreciate and love every facet of hip-hop and everything that's going on right now in the game, so I felt it kind of disrespectful that people kept referring to that whole genre as 'mumble rap.'”

“When I approach my mixtapes I'm very calculated.”

“Rap is supposed to change. It's supposed to do new things.”

“Sometimes, we get caught up in the moment. We start hanging out with the wrong people. But you know, everything in life happens for a reason, so you can appreciate what you are.”

“I now, more and more, appreciate when I'm in a group of good people and get to work in good movies and projects. I'm wildly grateful and appreciative.”

“I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once.”
