Here's some interresting quotes:
"I treat my beats like its my babies, you know. It's hard to let them go. I get a lot of people wanting to buy tracks from me but sometimes I'm hesitant because I don't want nobody wack on my beats. Sometimes you have concepts, and you already have a hook for a certain beat. So it would break my heart to hear some cornball dude stumbling over one of my babies. I put my heart on these tracks. Sometimes I'll be up until the sun comes up making tracks. So I want the rappers on my beats to make the same sacrifice I made. But at the same time I might have to make that similar sacrifice, which is selling some of my beats to questionable artists, to get the exposure I need. This whole rap game is like chess moves".
"I want to listen to something deep, learn something, and enlighten myself. I think me taking inspiration from different forms of music keeps me fresh, and keeps me trying new stuff in my music. If you trying to be a Hip-Hop producer, but you refuse to listen to other genres then I think you're playing yourself."
"When you have nothing, you work harder to make something hot, so you pick up more essential skills in my opinion. It's like Rocky 4, ya know. Stallone was in the snow mountains chopping fire wood, lifting logs and away from the rest of the world. Drago was using steroids and had all the top-notch technology. But in the end, who came out victorious? When you have nothing, it builds heart and you have a lot more to prove and live up to. I have to sound like I got an MPC 4000, a ton of vinyl, and $3000 of production gadgets to compete with some of the people who actually got all that stuff. If I started with an MPC, I don't think I would be as passionate as I am now, but that's me".
