I'm from Chicago, I live in Chicago and I wanted very much for the music in Chicago to succeed.

There are so many good venues in Chicago.

I have my own studio down in Miami.

I grew up in Chicago, so hip-hop has always been a part of my life.

But after this last year and dealing with the studio, the rest of us are closer than we've ever been.

As a city, Chicago really affords me an environment that I am really happy creating in. It's an easy place to live in a lot of ways; it's a great community to be making music in.

If you want a studio to back you, you want to be doing something that's been done to death!

I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.
