For a long time, men weren't respecting women. They weren't understanding Mother Earth, Mother Nature, the Motherland, all the motherly stuff. And now we are.

I am for feminism. I stand up for women standing up for themselves in the same way I stand up for being black.

'No fear' is a mindset that I stand for. It's the reason why I've got to where I am today.

The star, the person who's on the mic, always gets seen.

Getting in touch with your life purpose is important.

All the other rappers around me aren't saying anything worthwhile. They're lost in rap: all they do is tell you they're a sick MC and they're better than you. I don't want to look like all these other little punk, dress-up, fake, manufactured artists. I'm not a rapper. I'm an activist.
