Running From Your Problems Is

My Background Is Not Typical Hip-hop. I Didn't Grow Up In The Projects. I Grew Up In A Single Family Home In A Middle-class Suburb. That Doesn't Mean I Didn't Experience Hardship, But To Me It's Not About That, It's About The Future And Where We Are Trying To Take It.

Music Has Been There For Me When No One Else Was And The Only Thing That Stays When Everyone Else Leaves

I Started Doing Cocaine To Get Through Interviews, 'cause People Wanted To Know A Lot About My Personal Life And I Wasn't Prepared For A 60 Minutes Interview Every Time. Doing Bumps I Was Able To Get Through The Day, But Then I Would Smoke Weed To Calm Me Down - It Was The Only Way I Could Get Through The Day Without People Noticing I Was Doing It.

Some People Just Don't Want To See Change, But Thankfully There Are A Lot Of People More Optimistic For Something New In Music, Even With The Bigger Picture Like With Barack Obama Getting Elected.

Once I Accomplish One Thing And I'm Satisfied, I Try Something Else. I May Be 50 And Doing Something Totally Outside Of Music And Acting. Maybe I'll Become A Kindergarten Teacher.
