  • With 'Dope Walk,' I wanted to bring back kids dancing and having fun again. That's how it used to be in Harlem. I remember everybody Harlem-shaking and 'Chicken Noodle Soup'-ing. Those were some of the most fun and memorable times in my life.

  • I'm sort of like Jean-Paul Goude, the graphic designer who used to style Grace Jones and shoot all her visuals, just meaning that I use all mediums in one - music, fashion, and art. I'm hitting it from all angles.

  • Jeremy Scott reminds me of Harmony Korine, mixing all worlds and making them into one - you just never know what he's up to.

  • I might be more satisfied seeing my friends really come up than myself. I'm really happy for my success, but I can't really see it, because I'm myself working. You can see it; everyone around me can see it.

  • There's no racism with the Internet.

  • There's no borders or lines you can't cross anymore. Everything is getting blended with everything. That's the dope thing about music now. Some people don't like it, more of the older people. They want to, you know, go back to old-school New York hip-hop.

  • I was born alone, I'm gonna die alone. I have my own identity. I'm my own person, and no two people are the same.

  • Alexander Wang is a young designer, and his style is so profound. He took sports and street and kind of combined it into upscale high fashion. He made a white T-shirt a luxury.

  • I used to listen to 'Ready to Die' around the time I dropped out of college. I was scrambling for work and money.

  • I'm happy, so I just want to project that happiness through my music to make other people happy.

  • I used to do design before I was actually rapping. I went to art and design high school.

  • At the end of the day, you can't take my love for my people away.

  • If I was just to shut up, I wouldn't be a true artist.

  • Racism been over. It's the old people that keep on holding on to it.

  • I see myself on top, doing what I love to do, and doing it the way I want to do it. No rules, just doing my own thing.

  • Mixtapes are always small scale to me - they never get taken seriously, and they're always short-lived.

  • I used to be a daredevil on BMX bikes.

  • Rapping can be repetition sometimes. Sometimes you gotta highlight your words in a certain kind of way. So I always was a fan of sing-rapping. It was always funny to me a little bit, and I think that being funny and being able to laugh, even at yourself, is a form of flattery.

  • Trap Lord' is basically the writer of the hood. It's the kid that's from the hood, from the trap, who's going to preach to his friends and his homies. Because they're not going to sit in no church. So they listen to me instead of going to a church, because I understand them, and that's really what the 'Hood Pope' is.

  • No city owns me, you know what I'm saying? I'm from New York, but no city owns me. Nobody can bottle up my sound and box me in. Yes, I am a rapper, but am I a New York rapper? No. I am from New York, I love New York to death, but I will not conform myself to one place, no.

  • I got a lot of fans who are not even into fashion. So they look at me and wear what I wear because it's cool or looks cool.

  • I don't have a specific style. My style is unorthodox; that is my style. So you can't really place me here, place me there, because my style is just to be anywhere, you know what I'm saying?

  • I'm an animal lover.

  • When I was growing up, I saw the Aaliyah shirts, the DMX shirts, or the collab shirts with DMX and Aaliyah when they had a single together. Those were the dope collage shirts with their faces all over it. They were doing cool things like that.

  • A trap lord is basically the lord of the trap, and my trap is rap.
