I Feel Like This: Whatever Is In

I Put A Lot Of Pressure On Myself. I Think Something's Not Good Enough, And I Won't Stop Until I Feel Like I've Made It. I'm Never Satisfied.

In Hip-hop, There's Not A Lot Of Love. There's Not A Lot Of Love Being Spread. It's Always Like 'i'm Stuntin' On You Raps, Or I'm Better Than You Raps.' It's Not A Lot Of 'yo Man, I Idolize You Raps.'

My Goal Is To Have That Be A Haven For Families.

In My Mind, New York Was The Place Where They Had The Underground Rap Shows And I Could Get In On Some Ciphers And Just Rap. This Whole Fantasy World I Had Created In My Head About New York Just From Listening To The Music My Whole Life, Like, I'ma Go Up There And Do That. But When I Came Up Here, There Was None Of That, That Scene Was Dead.
