Matter fact, my girl complains about how much I'm in the studio working. But she sees the results as they roll out.

The 'trap' sound is a sound from the city. We've always liked music with bass. We've always liked old schools with big speakers in the trunks. We like our music loud. We've always had a nightlife scene in Atlanta.

I'm creative so I'm always gonna create.

I used to listen to songs on the radio and play that junk back on that little keyboard.

At the end of the day, I was listening to the big homies and they were saying, 'Yo, man, you got talent, man, stay off the streets.'

If you're a super-producer, you can produce whatever you want to produce. That's where I'm at.

I first heard Trouble in 2008. At that time I was on my grind, trying to work with all the next-up artists. I had sent him a couple beats; he had done a couple songs. We was always around the same age.

At the beginning of my career before anything started propelling, I used to blow up everybody. I was trying to work with whoever got next.

With Yo Gotti 'Rack It Up,' that was him hitting me like, bro, I'm about to put out a single next month, I want you to produce it.

A lot of people slept on Rae Sremmurd.

It doesn't matter if it's platinum or 10-times platinum - it's a certification that lets me know that I'm not wasting my time in the studio. That being said, I don't let those certifications run my life.

If I get a Grammy, that would be dope.

I'm not really the type that likes to put out a project just to say I've put it out - I like to make them count.

Yeah, I co-directed '23.' Yeah, the whole concept of the video... Even with that video, I feel like it's not a video that you can get sick of. You can always go back and watch that and it's fresh.

I'm so into making music and being behind the scenes. I'm such a visionary person that I don't see myself being the person in front of the camera or the person in front of the mic.

I don't want to be on the mic, man. I want to stay producing.

Those are two artists that I worked with real closely. Me and Miley are real close, me and Future are real close.

Miley Cyrus is the new Madonna.

When you're on top, you're going to get flack for anything.

Tupac Back' was the first single I had, but prior to that I already had 20-something songs in the street.

I used to grind. I be telling people, you don't grind, you don't sell. I was like 15, 16 getting dropped off in the city by myself, with my own beat CDs.

I don't sleep.

I have a blue 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT, the first car I ever bought. I didn't want it to just be a regular Challenger. I wanted it to be different. So I sent it out to Richard Petty's garage in North Carolina, completely tricked it out - a one-of-a-kind built for me and we changed the name of it from 'Challenger' to 'Champion.'

I've been dropped. You get up, and you win the fight.

If I look forward to bigger fights, than the biggest fight for me is Manny Pacquiao.

My kids are four years apart. They're constantly fighting, hitting each other, grabbing the toy away from the other.

All of the great fighters have had losses but are still considered among the greatest ever. The undefeated record is not as important to me as facing the toughest challenges out there.

I'm not afraid to step up and take challenges.

I don't think being undefeated is going to determine my greatness.

I'm not an 'opponent.' I don't believe I should be treated as an opponent.

I could easily be defending my title against top contenders in the Top 10, but if they haven't been champions or their record's not perfect, it doesn't really excite me. It doesn't motivate me. But that's why I'm facing guys like Dejan Zlaticanin, Sergey Lipinets, undefeated champions.

I want to get bigger and better fights, where people can recognize me as one of the better fighters in the world.

I'm here to let everyone know I'm taking bigger fights and I'm not afraid on taking the bigger challenges.

I want to give my fans great fights to remember me by.

When I walk into the arena, I get excited and emotional, when I see the fans rise and start cheering. But then I get into the ring and it's all business for me.

I fight for my name. For my dad's last name to be recognized in the history books of boxing.

I'm here to take control of my career and take it to where I believe it should be.

I think Adrien Broner was at his best. If he wasn't, I would have knocked him out. He was very motivated, he changed camps and made weight with no issues.

I don't feel the need to do anything other than what I've been doing, beating my opponents, getting some knockouts, keeping the fans coming. I don't need to do anything other than that.

I don't take easy fights.

I'm always the favorite heading into fights. My accomplishments don't get credit because I'm supposed to win.

I feel that my body is not made to be a natural welterweight. But my abilities and boxing skills will allow me to be successful even at 147.

I made it a goal of mine to fight the biggest challenges, so that people can appreciate who I am as a fighter.

If I want to pad the record, just fight pretenders, get a quick paycheck and keep moving on and racking up wins, that's not something I want to be known for.

Robert Easter Jr. is a tough fighter who I have to take very seriously and I do, and that's why we did a nine-week training camp and got the great sparring, got the right training, the right diet, everything.

I've been on cruise control with my opponents, even though I fought some very good champions, undefeated champions.

I don't have a number set that I'm chasing, but I do believe I'll be a champion at 140, and again at 147.

I think I showed I'm resilient, I'm strong, I can go the distance against a bigger man and still box effectively.

It would be a great thing for my legacy to get in the ring with an all-time great.

I've always said I have very good timing. It is underestimated when you are outside the ring but once you get inside the ring with me, I'm a step ahead.
