I met Drake officially for the first time two years ago at a Wiz Khalifa concert in Toronto. I was with Rich Homie Quan. Rich Homie Quan introduced me and Drake and he said I had good beats. Murda Beatz Read Quote
I played drums since I was 6 years old. And then I got into producing music when I was about 16 or 17. Somebody showed me FL Studios, the program. My beats were bad at first, but then eventually they started to get good. Murda Beatz Read Quote
People aren’t expecting me to look how I do. But that’s one of the main reasons it works so well: the surprise factor. Murda Beatz Read Quote
I didn’t want to be one of the 10,000 kids on the internet making beats. I went out there and got recognized as the white boy in trap music and made a name for myself. Murda Beatz Read Quote
Super blessed to be in the position I’m in. To be able to inspire people to do what I’m doing and choose a career path that doesn’t involve going to school, or like following society. Murda Beatz Read Quote
Honestly, it takes a lot of dedication and sacrifice. When I was trying to get better a couple years ago, I was not going out. I had a couple of people get mad at me. I wasn’t going out and partying, I was just doing what I had to do to get better. Murda Beatz Read Quote
I’d say a big transition as a kid was when I started to listen to Good Charlotte. They were like a rap-to-rock/punk group. Murda Beatz Read Quote
I just knew I was different from everyone else. I still feel like that today, sitting in rooms with people. Murda Beatz Read Quote
But I feel like I developed my own love for hip-hop and rap music by myself. Just growing up and hearing new things. As you grow up, you begin to listen to new music that this kid is listening to, then you begin to like your own music, and start discovering it yourself. Murda Beatz Read Quote
Well, I believe in God. I’m a very spiritual person, and parts of my family are Christian. I really started believing in God at the beginning of this music stuff. Everything that’s happened I have spoken into existence. Murda Beatz Read Quote
