On their own, these rappers along with countless others have sold millions of albums and mixtapes combined and have built an empire for themselves on pure passion, guts and work ethic.

We spoke to Wall whose mainstream debut set, The People's Champ, recently opened at No. 1. Like his colleagues, he's no stranger to hard work and he took the time to break down his work ethic.

"The fact of the matter is nobody owes anybody anything except you to go out and get it. And you can sit at home and make excuses all you want to but if you do that, you're gonna end up broke."

The entrepreneur whose given name is Paul Slayton, talked about how his successful business ventures (including real estate, promotions and a jewelry store) frees him creatively and liberates him from pressure to make a ton of money with his music.

"Being that I'm making money doing all these other things, I'm not forced to make money on music. So I have the privilege to be able to make creatively the kind of music I want to make. I'm paid regardless of whether I make an album or not."

Wall expected his mainstream debut to open in the Top 5, but he was surprised when it opened at the top.

"I was shocked. I knew it would do good. I expected it to be in the Top 5 but for it to be No. 1... is a big difference."

Wall, 24, also shared his feelings on becoming a daddy.

"The day the album dropped... that was the day that I found out that I had a baby on the way. So, I was ecstatic, overjoyed... I wasn't even concerned with the album. The album was in the complete back of my mind... That's my ultimate goal in life, to have a family."

Wall also shouted out on a number of topics including his spirituality, staying real, and his former partner Chamillionaire. Peep the complete audio interview below.
