"Not waking up where I used to wake up. I wake up in other states, in nice places. I used to wake up in crack houses and trap houses," Shmurda said to USA Today.
The article also reported that he stays relaxed by getting a girl, a hotel, and smoking. While he sits at number 10 right now it isn't above anyone to think that he could not make his way up the ranks topping some of the aforementioned peers in the music industry.
