“I approached my career like a rapper. I would go to every open mic, every studio session, bringing my beats. I would almost do exactly what a rapper would do to get on.”

“Atlanta can do crunk music, it can do snap music, it can do swag music. Atlanta has it all.”

“When I was in high school, the girls used to tell me I looked like Usher, so to be doing a song with Usher was mind-blowing.”

“On 'Lab Rats,' I read the script probably three or four times before we ever even do a table read because I want to be completely prepared. And I want to know exactly which beats I have to hit and where I need to make something comical. Some lines need a little more than others do just to get the point across, to get the joke to be funny.”

“I probably started trying to make beats at around 12.”

“I never made beats to make beats; I only made them when there was a record to make them for. That's one of the things that has changed in hip-hop that's made me like it less. It feels much more like it's a producer-driven medium, where there are all these tracks that are completely interchangeable.”
