Everyone Needs A Chance To Evolve.

Everybody Can Tell You How To Do It But They Never Done It

May The Best Of Your Today's Be The Worst Of Your Tomorrow's

I'm Not Afraid Of Dying I'm Afraid Of Not Trying

My Life After Childhood Has Two Main Stories: The Story Of The Hustler And The Story Of The Rapper, And The Two Overlap As Much As They Diverge. I Was On The Streets For More Than Half Of My Life From The Time I Was Thirteen Years Old. People Sometimes Say That Now I'm So Far Away From That Life - Now That I've Got Businesses And Grammys And Magazine Covers - That I Have No Right To Rap About It. But How Distant Is The Story Of Your Own Life Ever Going To Be? The Feelings I Had During That Part Of My Life Were Burned Into Me Like A Brand. It Was Life During Wartime.

I Can Think Of No One More Relevant And Credible In The Hip-hop Community To Build Upon Def Jam's Fantastic Legacy And Move The Company Into Its Next Groundbreaking Era.
