Yeah, every artist I think should look at themselves as a brand because the more appealing your brand is, the more money you can make off your brand.

I've done a good job of not putting myself in a box, being able to transform, and not being scared to try new things.

Vegas' energy is wild.

Of course I'm a big fan of Migos and we crossed paths on the road a bunch of times.

When you're with somebody for some years, sometimes you need a break from 'em. You grow in different directions. That's kind of what happened with me and the Eastside Boyz. They wanted to do different things than I wanted to do, so we separated.

Vegas shows me a lot of love.

I'm not no 'drink wine every day' kind of dude.

I've been wanting to do a Christmas song for forever.

I always want to align myself with stuff that's part of doing good. I don't ever want to put myself with something that's not cool and hip. And if you can keep that you can always have fans to support you as well.

The energy from these records, that's what makes crunk so popular; that's why it's winning, because it makes you move a certain way.

As a technology guy, and someone in music, I'm on top of technology and social media.

I used to DJ in Atlanta, and that's how I kind of got into the music industry.

I started DJ-ing in the '90s. DJ-ing is in every record I do. When I make records I make them for DJs.

I'm coming to Silicon Valley to turn up!

I'm all about helping children.

I can sit in the boardroom and battle it out, step up and be a project manager, take risks, and put my ideas alongside anybody's.

I was DJ'ing house music way back when - I'm not like a new house guy.

I think I'm most well-known for 'Yeah.' The word 'Yeah' and my voice.

I think people underestimate because I'm the rap guy, I'm a crazy guy, screaming all the time. But that doesn't mean that I'm not intelligent.

Vegas people come with the attitude that they're gonna go hard and party. I've partied in Ibiza and all over the world, and I think Vegas is the best party.

I say all the time when someone asks me how I am, 'I woke up today, I'm alive.' Basically meaning people complain about so much, but you know what... you're alive. Some people don't wake up.

No matter what kind of artist you are, you like good music.

The Apprentice' was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.

I like being by myself.

People think, 'Oh, I don't need to worry about him,' and they underestimate me because I am a rapper.

When you're living the Crunk Rock lifestyle, you don't let anybody tell you what to do. You live your life to the fullest, you live every day like it's your last, and you party like a rock star. It's just a crazy lifestyle.

Drake gets you bouncin'!

I love playing at Surrender because they let me be free and be myself... it's family, you know?

When I worked with Jermaine Dupri for his label, he would have So So Def parties and he'd tell me, 'Yo, go on get this thing started.' I had to go get on the mic and get people turnt up. I mean, I don't want to be that turnt up guy all the time. It's part of my job so I do what I gotta do.

Something that's Crunk is off the hook. It's popping, it's going down if it's Crunk. A football player listening to his Walkman as he's getting ready for the game, jumping up and down, he's Crunk.

You can listen to the records and know: We're really street.

I'm kind of quiet.

It takes time to restore an old historic car - you can't just do it overnight. That's how I look at the administration that came before Obama.

I think Hillary is about it for 2016.

The work that Rock The Vote does is incredible. So it's cool to collab with such an iconic organization.

The songs that I've done represent partying, so when people come see me in Vegas they know that they're going to have a good time.

I ain't going to buy no iPhone.

I love to make people have a good time and I love to make people party.

I like producing myself, I like other people producing, I just like it all.

In high school I was the guy all the girls came to with their problems.

I used to do this one club called New York Sound Factory where I played house, hip-hop, and dancehall. I was one of the first DJs in the South to play everything.

Well, you've got to learn how to make fun of yourself - you know what I mean?

I Twitter quite a bit, and try to send out some funny stories.

I always try to give all of my fans something special for them.

A crunk attitude you're just rowdy, rahhhhh! You're just crunk. But you add the crunk rock to it, and it gives you some edge.

Even though 'Turn Down For What' is considered an EDM song, it's really a rap song.

When I'm doing a set as an artist I'm right in front of the stage the entire time, interacting with the crowd. The DJ set's a little different but they both are great and high energy for the crowd.

Sometimes I don't want to have to be the guy that gets the party going.

My job is to make beats and make something hot.

Every city I record in gives me certain energy.
