I'm so extroverted. I wanna learn how to be introverted, though.

If it's not Fiji water, we don't want it.
I'm not gonna sound like the next person. I could respect your sound, but I could also do my own - you feel me?
I always loved music, and really, I've been rapping since I was, like, 12.
Darkness is important. If you were having fun all the time, you wouldn't know what dark is.
I just feel like nobody truly understands who I am as a person. They think it's one thing, but they get another. I feel like nobody fully comprehends who I am as a person, as a man, as a living organism in this world.
I'm not saying I'm trying to be the best. I'm gonna be the best. The best me ever. To the point where I can't lose at being me. I can't lose that life.
The thing about abuse is it's just a cycle of hatred. The person who is gonna abuse you has been abused, and he continues that same cycle of hatred.
With 'Clout Cobain,' when I made the song, I knew what I wanted to say. But I was gonna say it in a way where people could understand it.
I'm sponsored by Nike and stuff.
People wanna escape the truth sometimes.
I used to do poetry in elementary school. I used to just write.
Always be true to you. But learn how to adapt, too. That's something I wish I did when I was younger.
I started adapting, and that's how I've been able to stay afloat all these years. It's important to be adaptable.
I listen to Robb Bank$, not only because he is a South Florida native, but that's my homeboy. I listen to him frequently.
'Imperial' is me attempting to reach my ultimate form and to introduce a lifestyle of truth to my fans, be honest with yourself, and you will grow, ULT.
When I started using SoundCloud, it was just becoming a thing.
I think being sensitive gives you powers. You get the logic and the flexibility of emotions.
Didn't really go to no high school parties, man.
Growing up in Carol City, it was always a creative place for me to be because it was mad influential, especially going to Carol City High.
I started finishing 'Nostalgic' while trying to graduate at the same time. I graduated from high school, got my diploma, and my life just started when I completed 'Nostalgic 64.'
Me, l'm a weird person, so my music is kind of weird, but l want my music to be weird.
Everybody was down on me saying I can't rap, so I wanted to show everybody that I could actually do this. That's what motivated me.
Carol City has its hot moments, and it has its cool moments. If you were from one area of Carol City, people didn't mess with you.
You can't expect somebody to speak out on a certain subject. If they want to say something about it, then say something about it. But artists have a choice. It's their choice. I choose the stuff I talk about, but it's not my responsibility to do it.
'Nostalgic' was just all my influences and me just being like, 'Yo, I'm going to be the hardest one out of everybody.'
If shoes are brought to my attention, and I like them, I'm going to rock them for a long time.
White man get money - stay rich, kids get rich. Black man get money - it's the countdown till, 'When is this brother gonna go broke?' I'm not going broke.
My parents were really into music. They would play the Funkadelics, Parliament, OutKast; they would just play that all around the house. They'd also play Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, James Brown.
I went from following people to being on my own. Once I was on my own, I watched people start liking me, and I watched people stop liking me. Everything was supposed happen. It was all supposed to reveal itself.
I fear God. If my time comes, my time comes.
I live more than a double life, honestly. I have so many personalities, I live more than a double life.
Raider Klan was crazy because we all had our own personalities and our own little worlds when it came down to this music. It was the first step to creating your own weird little universe.
I never wanted to perform like a rapper.
I wanna say I'm detached, but I'm an Aquarius that's sensitive as hell. That's dope, though.
I'm an Aquarius.
Without Spaceghostpurrp, you wouldn't have people like Seshollowaterboys - you wouldn't have people like me; you wouldn't have people like ASAP - if it weren't for him.
The best Christmas that l had was probably when I got my Xbox. When I first got an Xbox, it was, like, the very first Xbox when it came out.
I want to get better at freestyling, to be writing better songs.
I'm very optimistic about the future.
People used to laugh at me like, 'Hahaha, you can rap? You? We don't believe it!'
I've proved with 'TA13OO' that I'm versatile as hell.
I was the type of kid that wrote all over my shoes.
I'm not tryna save no one. I just hope my music helps, and I hope the message that's behind it helps people, you feel me?
If I have a message to send, I'm going to send it in the most creative and yet crazy way I can.
I grew up in Carol City, Zone 3, for 19 years, in a house with four brothers, a mother and a father.
I've learned there's a difference between friends and associates.
I listen to most South Florida rappers.
If you look at 'Threatz' and 'Parents,' then you look at 'Zone 3,' all of that is nostalgic.
'Threatz' was when I stepped into my own as an individual and one of the first songs we put on SoundCloud.
