Quotes

“This hip-hop shit is everything to me. I eat it, I sleep it, I live it. The artists I rock with are actually my friends. I get why people have this misconception that I’m here to profit and run, but that’s wrong.”

“If this [hip-hop] shit didn’t mean anything to me, I could have cashed out after my first single and left it there, but I’ll be here for a very long time.”

“This is just me. This is just Mabu goes to college, Matthew goes to college. The academics and the message I have as a brand is communicated through my music as well. I talk about my double life being in school and being a rapper. School by day, being in the streets at night time.”

“Growing up in New York, I just loved hip-hop. It was just what I was around and my father was always singing Frank Sinatra around the house as any Italian household would. That was my introduction to music.”

“It wasn’t until I graduated middle school that I made my first song. I was always rap-battling kids in the lunchroom throughout middle school.”
