I was born and raised in Detroit.

Yeah I grew up on the Westside of Detroit.

I'm from Detroit. I was from a kind of violent neighbourhood.

Everything I've done in my career has started in and around Detroit, you know, the metro area and Michigan.

I was just about 6 weeks old when we moved to Detroit.

I love coming to Detroit. First getting to be buddies with Kid Rock in the beginning, and him being really great to us, showing us love, the love of the city. I feel like it's our city now, too.

Detroit is beautiful - though you probably have to be a child of the industrial Midwest, like me, to see it.

I can read in any book and newspaper about the city of Detroit, but I want to hear what the people in Detroit have to say about Detroit. My best education is actually talking to people.

My music is the essence of Detroit. At one time, we were the center of the world, man - Motor City.

I was born in Detroit, then shortly after I was born, I went on the road with my mother, who performed with Minsky's, a variety show that toured around the U.S. doing five shows a day.
