I Was Taught In Kindergarten: Sharing Is

I Already Had Three Strikes Against Me. One, I Have Light Skin. Two, I'm From Miami, Which Wasn't Getting Looked At At The Time. Three, I'm Cuban. But Now, I've Made Everything That Stacked Against Me Into A Virtue.

I Started Doing Shows In Places That I Couldn't Pronounce, Didn't Know Existed, And I've Seen People That Didn't Speak English Or Spanish Rapping To Every Lyric And Singing To Every Hook. I Said, "this Is The Type Of Music That I Want To Do."

There's Always Something Going On, And People Need That 45-minute-to-an-hour-and-15-minute Break, Where They Just Escape And Not Worry About Bills, Health Care And God Knows What. That, To Me, Is When You're Making Great Music: When People Can Just Forget About What's Going On.

My Whole Thing Is Just Being A Part Of Good Music.

I Won't Perform In Cuba Until There's No More Castro And There's A Free Cuba. To Me, Cuba's The Biggest Prison In The World, And I Would Be Very Hypocritical Were I To Perform There.
