Try To Be The King, But The

Hear What The Artists Hear, And Listen To The Music The Way They Should, The Way I Do.

I Don't Even Listen To The Records After They Come Out. It's Outlawed In My House. My Wife And My Kids Can't Play Any Of My Music Around Me. Once It Comes Out, For Me, It's Just Business. Numbers.

When I Think Of The Future, I Think A Lot Of Quincy Jones And How He Is An Inspiration. Look At The Quality Of His Work Over So Many Years. He Didn't Even Make His Best Record, 'thriller,' Until He Was 50. That Gives Me Something To Look Forward To. Nothing Pulls You Back Into The Studio More Than The Belief That Your Best Record Is Still Ahead.

I Just Want To Get My Music Out And Make Sure That It's Heard In The Right Way.

I Always Loved The Way Music Made Me Feel. I Did Sports At School And All, But When I Got Home, It Was Just Music. Everybody In My Neighborhood Loved Music. I Could Jump The Back Fence And Be In The Park Where There Were Ghetto Blasters Everywhere.
