I come from nothing, and growing up, I really didn't have many people to inspire me, at least no good people to inspire me.

When it's all said and done, I want to look back on my career and say I did numerous things.

It feels like we all win when Joe wins. People know the struggle, everything I had to overcome. People feel like that's them winning. If Joe could do it, they could do it.

I collaborate with Tidal because they're for the artists - the up and coming artists and the O.G.s in the game. It's like a home, the only place we have for the artists to find support.

I value humor, kindness, and the ability to tell a good story far more than money, status, or the kind of car someone drives.

You don't want to say the money changes you, but it definitely does.

I would love to be one of the few artists that hits a point of success and can go back into the studio and make another album that matters and relates to people and not go back in and be super tainted by this whole thing.

No one picked on me for my lunch money. Probably because it was the 1980s and no one had lunch money.
