I will always make my own path.

I'm an artist; I'm not a rapper.

I grew up listening to all types of music.

I want to play in the NBA. I'm dead serious.

I can rap, play ball, design T-shirts, all that.

To me, no matter where I perform, it's going to be lit.

I pick simple beats because I need space for me to work.

I inspire people in my hood to step outside the box, as you don't always gotta be super tough!

No shade, and shout out to Lil Pump, but on a track like 'Gucci Gang,' he's not really saying much.

I want to win Nobel Peace Prizes, as many Grammys as I can, Emmys, Golden Globes, VMAs, everything.

I'm a mudboy. I came from the mud, oozed out the concrete. I'm not a rose. I'm a mudboy: I came from nothing.

I kind of want 'Mudboy' to just be only Sheck Wes, and 'Mudboy' is going to talk about how I became a Mudboy.

I go overseas, and all the soccer players come to me, like, 'Yeah bro, we always play 'Mo Bamba.'' It's crazy.

I remember when I did 'Live SheckWes, Die SheckWes,' and when I did 'Mo Bamba,' I one-taked those because it came from my heart.

I'm gonna be the rap game Kevin Durant! He is so skilled, and no matter his situation or where he go, he never misses. I'm the same.

When you live in the projects, everything you need is in a mile radius: a basketball court, an indoor gym, a school, a grocery store, a shopping center.

I grew up watching Kobe and all these other dudes, but I was in love with that Oklahoma City Thunder team with James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant.

It's all about always putting in that time and that work and also, separating yourself for the better. Put yourself around good things, better people, and things like that.

When I'm away from New York, the thing I miss the most is the food. I miss going to my deli to get a pomegranate-flavored aloe water and a chop cheese. That's my favorite sandwich.

When I was in Milwaukee, I would go into this sneaker shop near my mom's salon and chop it up with the older heads about music. At school, I would make drum noises on the table so much that I would always get suspended.

I got a whole different mindset from living in Senegal and being there. I learned a lot of things, met a lot of people, and got to really find out what I wanted to work for and who I want to be and who I want to help and who I'm doing it for.

A Mudboy is just somebody who came from nothing: you know, who turned nothing into something. You know, when I was in Africa, in the rain, I walk around in, like, mud, you know, the sand would turn to mud, and you are not getting out of that.
