When I used to sit in the office with Jay Z and L.A. Reid... we would negotiate back and forth and discuss music. You're sitting in front of someone for hours. It's all about being passionate. Everything begins with yourself.
I'll always be a supporter of Reebok. That's a forever thing.
My father watched all the 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' that you could imagine, along with the martial arts. So I was into all that as a youngster, and I always rooted for the bad guy.
I'm fortunate enough to socialize with some of the greatest musicians around.
With me being an artist that took over a decade to get on, there's so many different things that I have in common with artists that's struggling to get on.
At the end of the day, I'm the biggest boss. I'm self-made.
