1. What ringtone(s) do you currently have set up on your phone?
I have my new song I'M THROWED feat JD, since my phone is ringing all day long, I figured it be a great way to promote the song.

2. The album is entitled "Get Money Stay True": - Can you tell us how this title holds true to you?
It's an album that reflects my lifestyle. I'm on the grind getting money, and staying true to who I am, as well as staying loyal to my team.

3. What are some words of inspiration you would give people trying to get that money but also staying true to themselves, their style, and background?
Be you. Do what makes you happy, not what other people want you to do to make them happy.

4. You have done it all, the albums, the jewelry business, marriage, children, label owner- what's next for you?
I'm just floating with the wind. Wherever God leads me I'm gonna follow. But for the meantime I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing. If it aint broke don't fix it!

5. You recently had a baby with your wife-how has being a father changed your perspective on being in the music industry?
It just makes me want to work harder. My son gives me purpose now in my life. I have a responsibility to make sure my wife and son are happy and I can support them and take care of them. I'm so blessed, I'm grateful for all of the opportunities I have, I want to work even harder now.

6. You are a huge ringtone seller for us here at Virgin Mobile- how does it feel to knowing that your ringtones are so greatly demanded? How does hearing your ringtone out in public compare with hearing your tracks on the radio and in the clubs?
It feels great. I mean, my music reflects my life, and every aspect of my life style, so the ringtones naturally should fit right in with whatever mood or situation people go though on a daily basis. It means a lot more to me when people have my ringtones; because that means they really appreciate my music. It means they're a TRUE fan!

7. What music are you listening to right now?
My boy LIL KEKE is definitely in full rotation. He's my friend, but I'm also his #1 fan. He is a Texas legend and the reason I started making music. Also my boys in +44. I love their new cd WHEN YOUR HEART STOPS BEATING.

8. This is your second album with Atlantic Records, how would you describe the differences between this album and the first?
With the first album we didn't have a lot of time to record. We were too busy promoting on the road. But with this new album GET MONEY STAY TRUE, I went in the studio with my manager T Farris everyday for about a year and a half. We really put our all into 40 songs, and narrowed it down to the best 14. I'm really excited about how my new album sounds.

9. Tell us a little bit about your involvement with the documentary "Bling: A Planet Rock", about the diamond conflict in Sierra Leone and how the experience has affected you.
It was a moving experience. It encouraged me to want to get involved with making a change. It was hard to go over there with my wife having just had our new baby. I missed them so much while I was gone, but to see the looks in the children's eyes, it was the stare of despair. I felt like I have to do something to get other people involved.

10. If you could change one thing about Hip Hop what would it be?
I hate how people are afraid to be themselves. People feel like they have to put up a front to impress everybody. I feel like they should just be themselves. I love seeing artists try something new. I'm so glad to see Cee Lo in Gnarls Barkley and Jay Z put out an album with Lincoln Park. Also Outkast sets so many trends by being so different. I love it, and I wish we could get more artists to try new things like them.

11. What can we expect from your live performances on your summer tour?
I love to perform. It's my platform to speak my mind. I try my best to give a performance, as opposed to just going up and singing some songs, but that's why I'm always hoarse after every show, and I'm sweating like a dog. I give it my all!

12. What artist would you most like to collaborate with that you haven't yet?
Well I have my new group with Travis Barker and Skinhead Rob. Its called Expensive Taste (www.expensivetastemerch.com and www.myspace.com/expensivetaste) so I'm really excited about that, I can't wait for the world to get a load of what we've been creating in the lab.
