There's no borders or lines you can't cross anymore. Everything is getting blended with everything. That's the dope thing about music now. Some people don't like it, more of the older people. They want to, you know, go back to old-school New York hip-hop.

I'm gonna put out another album and then another album after that. And then I'm gonna put out a mixtape, and then I'm gonna put out another ten songs, and then I'm gonna put out a hundred more songs and a thousand songs after that.

People who are scared don't live life.

Tour is fun.

I'm happy, so I just want to project that happiness through my music to make other people happy.

I create art. It's kinda abstract.

No city owns me, you know what I'm saying? I'm from New York, but no city owns me. Nobody can bottle up my sound and box me in. Yes, I am a rapper, but am I a New York rapper? No. I am from New York, I love New York to death, but I will not conform myself to one place, no.

Andy Warhol's art wasn't that interesting to me. He was more interesting to me as a person. He was art himself. I don't even think he was really into art, per se. He may have liked to do it, but I think he was more into people being into him.

I don't have a specific style. My style is unorthodox; that is my style. So you can't really place me here, place me there, because my style is just to be anywhere, you know what I'm saying?

There's no racism with the Internet.

Racism been over. It's the old people that keep on holding on to it.

If I was just to shut up, I wouldn't be a true artist.

At the end of the day, you can't take my love for my people away.

I'm not a manufactured artist. Nobody taught me how to be a proper artist.

Sometimes I can't sleep 'cause I can't get a melody or a beat out my head, so I just have to wake up and, like, record it on a voice note.

A lot of rappers been putting out a lot of sub-par visuals. I feel like the visuals could be better.

I'm an animal lover.

It's kind of hard for you to be doing huge things and still be knowing what's happening on the street level.
