It's all the stuff I've been through in my life. From family struggles, people doubting me, things I went through as a child and going to prison, they all played a factor in who I am today. It really made me a better person. Going through those situations can make or break you as a human being.

And they're the ones that make it into that body of work that represents them or that time in their life, because we've found each other.
