On hanging out with Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson, and having rappers on his new music
“That’s just me. Those are people that I just like and hang around with.”

On what keeps him grounded
“I have a great team and a great family. I think they help get through everyday. When there’s a struggle I can call someone or ask anybody on my team for advice. They definitely keep me humble and level headed.”

On not having ‘yes’ men around him
“You can’t have people always in your ear saying you’re great and not telling you ‘no,’ because you have to have those people around you that are just real with you.”

On his favorite rappers right now
“Kanye, Wayne, and Big Sean.”

Believe is projected to have the highest first week sales in 2012 with between 400,000 and 500,000 albums sold.
