Sam Smith is amazing.

Dark music always works in a club.

My goal is to be the Jay Z of DJing.

I never want to get stuck in the box.

I like everything to happen organically.

10 Summers isn't just a label, it's a lifestyle.

I'm getting too much money to be fighting people.

I wanna be involved in everything, not just one thing.

I wanna compete; I wanna be the best at whatever I do.

I create my music so you can go to the club and have fun.

I know that everything comes to an end. Everything is a phase.

I think Justin Bieber should let me executive produce his album.

Everybody knows YG is a turnt up dude that can't nobody control.

I think my set is more so mixed in everything. It's not just EDM.

If I'm DJing, and you stop me and take a picture? That's annoying.

I'm big on simplicity. I'm not too much on all the extra instruments.

I've always had an ear for rocking a party. Just knowing what people like.

Everybody in the West Coast always like to hear YG, RJ, and Mustard together.

Anytime anyone of my friends in my camp, if we argue, we gonna fight for real.

TeeFlii brought an edge to our camp. He's definitely going to be one of the greats.

My real name is Dijon. My mom named me Dijon, so everybody used to call me Mustard.

Apart from working on music, I'd rather play big festivals than almost anything else.

Any man can take a sucker punch, but if you get slapped, it's other repercussions to that.

I feel like me and YG are the closest to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg that people are gonna get.

My uncle, he's a big DJ out here in L.A. His name is DJ Tee; he's got a bar in Westchester.

Sometimes you can do a million songs, and if they're not good, you're just wasting your time.

With me and YG, he could rap a hook, and I could make a beat around it. Ten minutes, we done.

My uncle is just, like, always pushing me to be better, be a man, and showing me the ropes of the game.

Don't let this music industry or any industry come between friendship. Just stay focused on your goals.

When I got my first check from 'Rack City,' I was like, 'Damn, I can make this much money making beats?'

Me and my little cousin DJ John John, we used to always be DJing in the house. We never took it seriously.

There's male groupies - guys that wanna stand next to you to get to the girls. A male groupie is the worst.

When I came in the game, it was just me making beats in Inglewood at YG's house; it wasn't nobody to help me.

'Who Do You Love' was kinda cool to make. I just made the beat; I was self-determined to make beats at the time.

Anytime you throw claps back to back on a song, it makes everybody want to get up and have fun. It's a fun sound.

I want my hands in all the pots and not just one. I want to make the right moves that'll put me in the right place.

What I would tell young producers is if there is someone out there who can help you, then go work with that person.

The past is always recycled. I'm just taking what the people I looked up to did and translating it for my generation.

Don't just be a mystery to your kids. You need your kids to know you and know they can call you whenever they need you.

I thought I was going to be YG's DJ forever. I didn't plan on producing; I just picked up producing and got good at it.

'Ratchet' has a lot of meanings. You can be a bad ratchet or a good ratchet. You can have fun, be ghetto, and get ratchet.

Everybody likes good music, so when you're just playing good music and encouraging everybody to have fun, they'll have fun.

My cousin went to jail, and I was like, 'I don't wanna spend my life in jail.' So I just started DJing, and that was my out.

It's just dumb: how you can have the number 1 record in Los Angeles and not have the number 1 record in New York? It's crazy.

YG and I told each other when we was coming up that if we didn't feel like we was close to making it by 25, we was going to stop.

If I ever do meet John Mayer and we end up in the studio, hopefully he'll bring the guitar, and I'll make a beat to it or something.

I just want people to hear my music and feel good, go to the club, dance, have fun, and get home safe... none of that gang-banging stuff.

You can't complain about everybody that steals your sound. You'll be fighting for years trying to figure out how to make people not steal it.

I just wanted to do my own albums where nobody could tell me what to do. Roc Nation was the perfect fit because I could do what I wanted to do.

Time repeats itself, so it's up to you to keep up with the curves of the music and keep reinventing yourself so you can be better than what you are.
