My mom and dad are from the streets. My mom's from Chicago. My dad's from Memphis. My dad got out of school and got with my mom. They were hustlers. They were from the streets. They were doing their thing. The streets ain't got no love for the streets. You can light up the streets, or be a victim of the streets.Collection: Dad

Dumb & Dumber' is one of my and Glock's favorite movies. We do stuff in real life that's just like they do in that movie.Collection: Movies
My cousin put me on Three 6 Mafia and Playa Fly. My other big cousin put me on 8Ball and MJG.
I was always real deep into music. From everything, all around the board - from East Coast, West Coast, down South, everywhere. I just been a fan of music and I know I always wanted to do it myself and I wanted to do it my way. So, I told myself if I ever start doing music, I'ma do it my way. That's what made me start my own label.
This has always been my plan and my vision, to build a strong team and build artists like Glock. I always knew I could do it with artists, because I saw what I did for myself as an artist.
When I first started rapping, one of my partners who kept telling me to do music, I had asked him who I should buy some beats from, and he said DJ Squeeky.
Yeah, I was going to have no features on 'Bulletproof.' But I ended up putting Gucci Mane on it. That's just my partner. He's just one of my personal friends. It ain't no different for him from my homeboys in Memphis. I just have a real personal relationship. I met Gucci Mane through my partner Drumma Boy, the producer.
I'd rather motivate somebody all day long.
I got a record label and I got a couple artists signed. All of them got real-deal.
When I get my music mixed, I'm actually in the studio with the engineer, every project I've ever put out. So it's supposed to always say mixed by whatever engineer I use and Dolph.
When people think Down South they think: 'They're not up on game,' or 'They ain't hip.'
I'm always doing my part as a CEO.
Memphis wasn't hot before Dolph came out.
Baller Alert' is based on my lifestyle. As I talk about in the song, I've done a lot of dirt and worked hard to get to where I am. This song, like a lot of my songs, is about celebrating life.
Whatever it is we doing, we gonna do it to our very best.
There's a lot of people in this game that wait for Paper Route, Dolph or Glock to drop just to get that new lingo and style and see what type of creativity we on.
I don't have no deadbeat dads around me. How do you look hanging with me, when I got kids that I am taking care of and you in the backseat not taking care of your kids?
At the end of the day, don't nobody go into business to lose money.
I'm here to satisfy the people. I'm here to teach. I'm here to motivate. I'm here to give people the adrenaline, the push and support.
You make good music, you're going to get good results.
I like seeing new artists with no buzz, because I can give them game, and they'll take that and run with it. It's not like someone who's been around that feels like they know it all.
I don't want to play police games. When you start playing police games, I take myself out of the equation.
Music is like art, so I just paint all my pictures and put 'em out there.
Really, more than everything, I'm excited to showcase these talents that I got around me.
I'm willing to help anyone who is working hard.
I didn't agree with everything she was trying to get me to do and teach me, but once I got old enough, I understood everything. I'm thinking she was being mean. I'm like, 'Damn, I just want to have fun. I just want to go outside, Grandma, play with the rest of the kids and kick it and ride bikes.' She prepared me for life with all of the rules.
Once you been listening to the same CD for, like, two weeks, three weeks, it get old to you. You need something new.
You really got people that you got to talk to every day, you got teams that you gotta work with every day. You lose track of... not real life, but the people that really love you. It becomes a distanced thing because you give that job all of your time.
It's the reality of being Black in this country. You can have money, and you can be a benefactor and a leader in your community, but all people see is Black skin.
In the game, you've got some people who've got money, but their music is kind of off, their music is garbage. Then, you have people with good music, but they ain't got the biggest part: They ain't got the funds. But me, I'm just all the way around the board.
Everybody you see around me, they're kings. Every last one of them. I ain't the only one that got paper.
It was a strategic plan, because prior to us doing 'Dum and Dummer,' me and Glock never had music together. So I planned it that way - because I always wanted Glock to take off and go big on his own, without a Dolph co-sign or Dolph feature.
But that was our thing from day one: to make Paper Route Empire strong. That's why I never wanted to sign to no label.
I know what the streets want to hear, I know what the streets going through, the lingo, the fashion, everything. It ain't nothing; it's my real life.
People, my age, people older, people younger, it's like they look up to me. They listen to my lyrics for wisdom. They listen to my lyrics for like game. They listen to my lyrics for real deal beneficial purposes.
