I listen to it all the time and I just think he's real creative and he definitely has something to say. I wanna see Mikey Rocks have a big year too because, I mean and Chuck [Inglish] too, but you know like Mikey, he put out these two mixtapes that have been just real ill and he's doing his thing. ... I wanna see Casey Veggies have a big year. That's the homie and I'm always supportive of him. I wanna see Meek Mill have a big year too. That's Pennsylvania love and he's real good peoples."
