I never freestyle. I always give a written verse cause I just don't wanna go out like that.
My dad got me an iMac, and I spent my whole childhood with my eyes glued to it. I was technically savvy and knew how to make it work for me.
I'm half-and-half on school. I had fun in grade school, but when I went to college, it was the worst place I've ever been in my entire life.
That's how things work: you be who you are, and then people like you. They gravitate.
I am honored to be chosen for this collaboration; I grew up watching Disney and using Beats headphones. Now I get to represent them both - it's unreal.
I love Beyonce and Jay Z.
I rightfully respect Killer Mike a hundred percent. He knows my father; he's known my father for years.
My mother always taught me a lot of important life lessons, and she would always tell me how important it was to tip. We didn't have much money, so we would tip what we could. Now, it's at the point I'm financially stable. When I'm out eating, I hope I have the cash, but if I write it on the receipt, I'll leave a big tip.
When I first started recording music, we would record in the closet with socks on the mic.
I was performing in front of mirrors forever. Just jumping around my room at, like, three in the morning when everybody else was sleeping. So when it came time, I was so ready.
I remember being in jail, like, 'Man, I'm not old enough.' And then I thought, 'I just turned 18.' I had just turned old enough to be in big people jail.
I'm the outcast of the hip-hop game.
I like penny loafers.
Not really a perfectionist, but everybody around me is.
I am happy every day, because life is moving in a very positive way.
I'm out here trying to promote positivity on a global scale.
I'm promoting positivity. I'm promoting happiness and loving yourself and having fun. But it's not a joke.
Any post I do on social media, any song, anything in general - I just try to promote positivity, because I felt like there's not enough positivity going around in the world.
Serious rap music puts me to sleep.
When I made 'Lil Boat,' my first mixtape, I didn't have a drop date, a due date. I didn't have critics rating on it; I was just making it. And then when I finished it, I dropped it at my own smoothness, at my own pace.
