I wrote Inferno 2 years ago, during what was probably one of the most turbulent times of my life. After making the decision to leave school (to my family's dismay), I left my parent's home at age 20 with little more than $300 in my pocket, my phone, my laptop, my jeep (which died 3 weeks later), good friends, my rhyme book, and a vision, which was admittedly unclear at first, but refined over time. Some might even argue that I was richer than most. Shrouded in a cloud of doubt, uncertainty, and insecurities, I did the only thing I know how to do - I survived - just as I have every day since.
I tell you all this because I'm frequently asked by other artists how I've gotten as "far" as I am in my career. And my answer is always the same, regardless of what your passion is or how far you are in the pursuit of it: Be about it. Because if there's anything that I've learned in life, it's that if you want something bad enough, excuses won't prevail. You will.
2 years later, I'm proud to say that I've been fortunate enough to share my vision with you.
There's a fire inside that I refuse to let die...
