"I'm the newest shit, the poppin' shit. The new wave out of Memphis. The CD ain't called The King of Memphis. It's called King of Memphis. So my whole thing is, my last CD was called Shittin' on the Industry. This one called King of Memphis. So I'm just letting everybody know I do what I wanna do with this shit. And on top of that, all my partners kings. Everybody you see around me, they’re kings. Every last one of them. I ain’t the only one that got paper. None of that. I'm the boss."
