I've actually been kind of unscathed. As a hip-hop artist, there can be a lot of crash landings. You know, but I've relatively been... you know, really true to character and that speaks volumes and allows me to walk in a lot of doors. And I haven't had a lot of that kind of stuff.

Once I'd left that stuff behind as a kid and I got into a professional setting, some people don't know how to read the room. I, yeah, yeah. They sure don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was able to understand that my environment was changing.

These people don't, you know, you can't, we're not here on the block. You know what I'm saying? Like, we're here to do business and make sure that we are building something.

It's always going to be... You party with your friends to this. This is what you saw. This was on your ringtone. This is what you grew up with. This is part of your DNA. And I get that. But I also, when making this record, I wanted to not only... have a transfer of information. These are the ideals. These are the self-discipline. These are the motives.

These are the way I operate, the moral compass I use. All this is kind of built into the album, calling it Kingmaker. So now I'm handing this over to people who are willing to listen. And now you can do with it what you will. And that's the image behind Kingmaker. It has nothing to do with me sitting on the throne or feeling like a royalty or Like, this is, like, serious, yeah.

That's not what a kingmaker is.

But that's what I'm saying. I think the listener is who I'm trying to empower. Right. So that's why I said, here are the tools, you know. I don't want to be king, you know. I want to be a soldier. Soldiers kill kings.
