A Boogie wit da Hoodie Quotes

I just think that when you've been singing for 30 years, which I have been, you just want to find different things you can do with your voice. It's a constant journey. It's not like any one album that you make is who you are. It just reflects that particular day.

I didn't really know what I was doing when I started. I just started writing songs. After two songs I just continued to explore it.
