I've performed in Auburn Hills, at The Palace, so I haven't really been in downtown Detroit, but I've been able to be here, and I can really see, what the city was. Like, I can feel why Motown started here and how amazing it was.

I've always felt that because I'm from Cleveland, which isn't recognised as a place for hip-hop, I needed to step it up if I wanted to make myself known.

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

I'm a huge hip-hop fan from way back in the day.

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

Hip-hop is all over the planet.

Detroit is full of talent.

Detroit is in my music consciously and subconsciously.

The hip-hop community is made up of a lot of hustlers. Everybody is trying to get theirs, and everybody is trying to eat.

Detroit: Cars and rock 'n' roll. Not a bad combo.
