My music is about my life. If it's something that I've lived, then it's something that I've written about.

I don't like putting a name on my music. It's not just country and rap; it's got Southern rock, classic rock.

Myself, I'm just a simple country boy who spent time on the streets and developed a style of writing and rapping and a cool sound that people seem to enjoy.

My playground is full of moonshine, mason jars, beer bottles, and bonfires.

I'm a product of my surroundings. I grew up on Hank Williams Jr., Johnny Cash, Jerry Reed, and also Run-D.M.C., the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys, and Biz Markie.

I had a sister who was killed in a motorcycle wreck when I was around 4 years old. My parents adopted her son, and so my nephew became my brother. He was three years older than me, so through him, I was exposed to hip-hop.
