A lot of times, people won't be 100 percent real with their story, and I wanted to give people the drawn-out experience of the perseverance and the struggle that it took to get here.

Drake could diss me 20,000 times, and I would never diss him. I'm a fan.

I'm here to be the guy that rubs people the wrong way sometimes.

I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.

I just freestyle. I don't actually write the words on paper. It's just whatever comes into my mind. I'll record three or four lines at a time, get a good take, and do three or four more. It may be whatever comes into my mind. But I care about my craft a lot more than a lot of other people.

What, do you think I'm here to be second place, brother?
