Five or six songs leaked from the original version of 'Encore.' So I had to go in and make new songs to replace them.

There were five or six players that left, and the five or six players that we brought in to replace those fellows have been tremendous.

I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

I want to solidify as an artist and show that as I grow as a person and make mistakes and learn from them, I'm going to grow artistically.

It's just hard to meet new people, in my position.
