Quotes By Jayceon
"I'm not knocking anybody's hustle but I can't feel what's in hip-hop today."
" It's just a branch off of the moves I'm trying to make to elevate The Black Wall Street West. I am buying a decent percentage of the team and also playing."
"Me, myself, I'm not a star. I'm just a regular guy who has a great rap album and is the protégé of Dr. Dre. But I'm the most down-to-earth guy."
"I’m not no follower, I’m a leader. I ain’t a soldier, I’m a general, so I’m gonna leave it at that, man."
