“Everybody get to see my vision. When somebody ain’t see my vision, it make me go harder. Talked to my dad, we would get into it,” Kream told Billboard. “But later he would call me…he just want me to do right, do good. He wanted me to have a real future. It ain’t no, ‘What’s going to be my Plan B if rap ain’t working?’ I’m like, ‘This my Plan A, B, C, D, Z.’ You feel me? I’ll make it work.”
“But the next thing, he signed with the label and he was getting ready to release [an album]. So I said, “You know what? I think I need to support him now. 100 percent.” He has paid his dues,” Biosah Sr. told the publication.
