No, no, I appreciate you asking, Sean. I want to talk about it because I think it's a really important part of my redemption is that – You know, whenever I was a younger man, I had committed a series of crimes, one of which being an armed robbery case, which is the one that ended up really sending me to prison.

But sadly, it's been everything from armed robbery to possession with intent to distribute. I was a 10-year, 12-years-in-and-out-of-the-system kind of kid. Caught my first case when I was like 14 years old. From 14 to 25, I probably did almost most of that decade incarcerated. Wow. I call it the revolving doors that once you get in, you know? Yeah.

But I think it's important that I talk about it because it's a big thing. I want to give people hope and second chances. And also I never want to... act like I'm running from what I did, or my victim deserves better than for me to act like it didn't happen. You know what I mean? If nobody else, my victim deserves better.

Do you agree with that? Oh, dude, one, thank you, yeah. I mean, that's what I hope to represent more than anything, right? Is that, because I don't think I just stand for like criminal second chances. Like I think I became a voice for like all second chances. Like I'm a guy that proves that it's never too late to change.

When I was nominated for the Best New Artist at the Grammys last year, I was the second oldest artist ever nominated for Best New Artist in the history of the Grammys. Wow. Incredible. So it's not only did I turn my life around, I did it at an age where in our business, in the music business, people would tell me I was crazy for starting.

You know what I mean? If you ain't caught your teeth by it, sometimes in the acting world, I've noticed that you have guys who will arc later in their career. But like in the music business, they say that our best work's done between 22 and 27. Yeah. I didn't even start getting invited to award shows till I was 37. You know what I'm saying?
