What they’re saying

“I know sometimes when I think of artists and their stories, a lot of it deals with the struggle. We all have struggles, and we all have stories to tell. But this book is not about out-struggling or out-traumatizing the next rapper. I'm tapped into a higher source. I'm trying to enlighten. I'm trying to draw some jewels. I'm trying to give you some game.”

“The voice in your head is God's whisper. It's like somebody in your classroom trying to give you the answers to a test. Life's tests. That's what it feels like to me, my energy, my life's journey, how it feels in my chakras. I'm a son of the highest power and I'm connected. Dig deep, dive inward. Accept the things you cannot change. Trust the things that feel a part of you.”
