Being acknowledged for your work is always a great accomplishment, whether it's people in my city, kids in the street, all the way up to the Grammys.

People are used to music that justifies street culture but something that's not touched on is why these kids act the way they act, live the way they live.

I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.

In all my days of schooling, from preschool all the way up to 12th grade, there was not one white person in my class. Literally zero.

The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you're making a mistake but let you go on with it, that's when it ruins your mind state as an artist.

When you go on your Twitter or look down your Timeline and it's all great positivity - I love that. But at the same time, it can really divert you from what your purpose is or what you're trying to do. And I've seen artists get caught up in that.
