I could sit down all day and write something. But I write when I get in a zone more than writing because I’ve got to do thi. I represent the artists that keep it true to what really i, to be able to make rappers want to write." "I want to show the streets that I'm back and that I'm true to the game. Musically, I want to show that I'm still out here doing my thing. After all the people that were out when I was out years ago fell off, I’m still out here competing with the shortie. I also want to gain platinum succe. It's something that I haven't done." The song "Sunshine" contains the backing track from Lovely Day by Bill Wither.
