“Back when I was growing up, gangs wasn't heavy. We was solo thugging. When we got money on our own, the hood got money. It wasn't about colors or a certain name when I was growing up. We wasn't doing no gangs. But as the generations change, things change.”

“Memphis is just like any other city. I'm pretty sure it's like the streets of Baltimore, with your hoods and traps.”

“It was once upon a time where me, myself as a kid - and I know plenty of people who grew up the same way - couldn't even afford a pair of shoes.”

“It's always been my objective to change things up.”

“I like to try to change things up a bit in the way that actors such as Philip Seymour Hoffman or Michael Fassbender did and do.”

“Elections come and go, people win and lose, that is part of politics. It doesn't anyway change things on the ground.”
