Part Of Me Would Just Like To

It's Funny, I Can See The Science In How Music Is Made With Other Artists, But It's Hard For Me To Dissect My Own Thing.

It Was Absolutely Killing Me That I've Spent The First 25 Years Of My Life Tryin' To Avoid Bullets. That Was Always The Main Concern. Don't Go Out Late. Don't Go To Any Shady Neighborhoods. Don't Hang In Bars Alone. Why? Because You Wanna Avoid Bullets. So Once I Get To 35 Then I Was Like "woo, Okay. Made It." And Now There's A New Warning. Now It's Like Strokes; I Gotta Watch My Health.

I Grew Up In Somewhat Of A War Zone In West Philadelphia In 1985, '86. It Wasn't As Extreme As Someone Coming In The Classroom And Just Unloading On A Class, But I Knew To Take The Scenic Route To Go To The Grocery Store To Avoid Certain Elements.

When You First Start Off, You See What Other People Have And Quietly Say, "i Want That."

At The End Of The Day, I Don't Release Any Records That I'm Not Proud To Put My Name On. I Never Got To That Point.
