Jay IDK

I'm definitely trying to be Number One.

At first, I thought I could go to school and do music on the side and be successful, but the more I began to understand the industry, the more I fell in love with it.

People have compared me to Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Eminem, and J. Cole. They bring substance and largely are all good storytellers, and those are two of my biggest strengths. It's dope to be compared to people who have longevity in the game because that's the most important thing for me: I want my name to live forever.

When I started my writing process for 'Empty Bank,' everything had to do with money. It was at a time in my life where I started to see money differently.

I'm going to be the first rapper to win the Nobel Peace Prize. I don't know exactly what it would be for, specifically, but I want it to be a change I make in the world with my music.

In 2010, I attended Prince George's Community College in hopes of transferring to The University of Maryland. My major was computer science, and the goal was to one day work as an I.T.

I wanna be the most successful socially aware artist: Grammys, number one singles, albums, overseas and internationally-known household name, all that.

I want people to understand balance. I might make a banger, and that's the way that I feel, and then I may want to make a song that's really deep.

I think the best rappers practice concept albums in their work.
