I have these freedoms: being able to open up the refrigerator, jumping in my car whenever I like. I’ve been through some humbling situations, so I’m just chillin’, I don’t get full of myself or too big for my britches. I just take everything as is, and I accept it for what it is.”

Get well soonest, rapper Boldy James.
