I look at where I'm at today and realize that most of my success is owed to the mentors that was in my life.

If my edge is dull, my sword is dull, and I don't want to fight another guy whose sword is dull. If you've got two steel swords going back and forth hitting each other, what's gonna happen? Both of them are going to get sharper. Everybody that's in the industry has lost their edge.

I think that's why I put my energy into making music. That's how I get my thoughts out, instead of being crazy all the time.
