"It's 2019. I have a certain way that I rap, but I can't rap like it's 2006. I had to upgrade the flow a little bit." "I was really busy dealing with my family, doing a lot of things. Also, I had to take a break from the rap game. The game is weird to me. I got tired of dealing with all the fake stuff."

​

"Honestly, to be real, all I listen to is down south rap. I've been that way forever."

"I was the first one listening to Gucci, Jeezy, and all that. Before it became the thing." "I was the one online, releasing videos and doing all the blogs back then. No, I'm going to keep it digital. It's less overhead, less work." "I was never officially on Dipset. I didn't really care. Being straightforward, I always had my own money. I made my own money." "I don't think Jim can rap better than Cam, but I'll tell you this. When I first heard Jim back in the days a long time ago, I knew he was going places." "I'll be dropping an EP with Just Rich Gates. I'm about to go down there and work with him. We already got some stuff out. Be on the lookout for that." "I'm working."
