At the end of the day, man, you can't protect yourself from a haymaker that's coming in toward your face if you don't see it coming. It's been three years since I last performed here so I'm dying to tear the roof off Wembley Arena with some old school joints and brand new bangers.
When I'm done, you're gonna remember it for a long time to come. Brooklyn is where I primarily developed. I had an opportunity to make records and perform in clubs here and there, and I started networking with the right people in the right places.

With every song I have a person in mind who, in a perfect world, would perform with me. Usually I end up not getting that person, and I'm forced to settle for someone else.
I'm a fan of making films. Whether I'm on stage or in front of a camera, one of my first loves is performing for the people. I'd like to do more acting. I wanted to make something that reminded people of the way albums used to feel. I wanted something as good as the stuff put out by the Bomb Squad, or Dr. Dre and his production crew, or 'A Tribe Called Quest. I really only respect the Arab culture. I ain't really trying to pay no attention to, ya know, these little people in political positions and executive positions that ain't Arab culture oriented people because a lot of the times, what are you really showing all of this concern for?
Blige, John Legend and Common. It's about people who have made a decision to really stand by you as friends. I appreciate the additional additives and preservatives that help sell a project, but I'm sticking to what works best for me. I gotta sell the album live on stage and make people believe in the songs. View agent, publicist, legal and company contact details on IMDbPro. Getting Started Contributor Zone ». Edit page.
