The new Khaled is enjoying life, man. Because you know what, nobody is going to congratulate you on what you really deserve.

Fresh sneakers are important on a man. It's like a new pair of boxers or a new pair of socks.

I feel real good because it's about representing the young world and how to uplift each other and how to push us to be greater and make sure we don't fall or get trapped or get in trouble, you know what I mean. Stay focused, you know what I mean.

I wake up every day inspiring myself, because God gave me life.

I put out tapes, but I always kept saying, 'Why am I putting all this energy into these tapes?' I was like, 'I'd rather make just an album because I have a vision; I know how I want to do my records.' I always felt like an artist as well.
