When I was a barber, me being extreme was how I got popular: you name it, I was drawing it on someone's head.
You have to invest in yourself and your surroundings.
It's all positive energy from me, man.
When I was growing up, there were so many things I thought were stylish. Jabo jeans, V Bombers, Clarks, Vikings, Nugget watches, Lee pants with the patches, leather hats - which I still wear now. All hip-hop stuff, all South Bronx stuff.

You know, I never did music for money. I did music to hear myself in the club, and to hear my creation on the radio.
Set your business plan to win; raise the bar or you're not going to be prepared. You need to think that what you're doing will make you $100 million.

I started off as a graffiti artist in the South Bronx. My tag name was 'Loco' because I would go crazy and tag anywhere I wanted, in the weirdest places.
My art side is free and there are no strings attached.
I don't even know how to sell a piece of artwork of mine because it's so personal.
I'm the last person that wants to give away music for free.
I think K-Pop is a type of expression.
I want to help promote Korean music around the world.
