I used to be focused on being the dopest rapper in the game and then once that became what I was I wanted something different and I wanted to become the best businessman in the game. I wanted to learn how to master the business like I mastered the rap.

I also became close to nature and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.
