• "I don't necessarily feel like a solo artist."
• "I don't sound like anyone."
• "I like to give props — I've never been a hata. If I see something that's hot, I'm 'a say it, because I want my just due. I was like, 'Holla at me about the remix.' They turned, like, 'Word?' I was like, 'Word.' We exchanged numbers, and it went down like that."
• "I really thought I'd be playing ball right now."
• "I'm just the key in the door for the rest of the St. Lunatics. I'm the first to release an album, But we're all family. We came up together from nothing. So it's St. Lunatics for life."
• "I've got a style that's all my own. I'm rappin' the blues. I like to think of my music as a jazz form of hip-hop. I don't really even know what I'm going to sound like until I hear the beat."
• "Rappers like Biggie and Tupac brought something different to the music. They attracted people to it."
• "St. Louis is real. It's the rawest of the raw. It's small so everybody knows each other. I've got a love/hate relationship with it."
