I feel like I'm only in the beginning of my career. I've only made five albums. It's not a lot.

I've never listened to an album once I've finished it. All I hear is what I should've done different. I beat myself up over it.

In the past, I've been a bit diffident about my own albums, almost excusing them for some reason, even though deep down I felt strongly about them.

There are always some doubts when you do a new album though. You wonder whether you succeeded or not, especially when you waited as long as I did for this one - seven years. You're never really sure if it will be a nice record or not.

With the first album, I wanted to do so many different things, and I was fighting with myself to try and see if I was worthy enough to do it.

All I can say is that I've had too many people in the hip-hop industry really like what I'm doing. I know where I'm coming from, and the album speaks for itself.

An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.

My main objective with every album is to capture a moment in time, which usually makes the whole process very relaxing. I only discover in retrospect when looking back at the songs how my life is going!

I'll probably never put out another album because I'm a tough critic of my work, and I don't think I could come up to those standards any more.
