My Real Name's Rakim - My Parents

I Thought Highly Of Myself Growing Up. I Still Do. There's Not Really Much Somebody Can Say To Me To Bring Down My Confidence Or Anything.

When I Started, I Was 23 Years Old Directing My Own Music Videos; I'm Co-producing On My Album; I'm Hands-on With Everything. I'm More Than Just A Pretty Boy: I'm An Artist. I'm Not Saying I'm A Hip-hop Music Artist, I'm An Artiste.

I'm A People's Person, Believe It Or Not. I Just Have A Dark Side To Me, Which We All Do.

I'm Not A Gangster, Bro.

There's Just So Much Out There And So Much Inspiration... I Just Want To Be Tasteful.
