I'm From New York And I Love

I Was Ashamed To Let Anyone Know That I Was Living In A Shelter. I Remember One Time Coming Home And Some Kids Saw Me And Were Like, "what You Doing Here? This Is A Shelter!" But I Was Like, "my Mom's Working There." It Was Pretty Embarrassing.

I Strive For Perfection, But Im Not Perfect. But What I Can Say Is My Morals Are Totally Different Than Any Other 24-year-old Rapper My Age Now. I Look At Life Totally Different. A Whole Other Aspect. I Have Different Views And Morals On Life In General. And Opinions.

It Would Be Disrespectful To Take My Stardom And Bully My Way Into The Fashion Industry.

[i Want To Be] Something That Really Touched You - And As Far As Image And Change Goes, I Just Really Want A Lot Of People To Respect My Music And Treat Me... [as] Inspiration.

When I Started, I Was 23 Years Old Directing My Own Music Videos; I'm Co-producing On My Album; I'm Hands-on With Everything. I'm More Than Just A Pretty Boy: I'm An Artist. I'm Not Saying I'm A Hip-hop Music Artist, I'm An Artiste.
