The Low hitmaker was struggling to make it big for years until the family tragedy turned him into an overnight sensation.
The Miami rapper admits his sister Julia's death - from bronchitis - motivated him to get serious about his career.
He says, "You never know when you might leave here. My sister passed away at the age of 25... I loved her to death.
"I always know that she's that angel that's by my side because after that happened a lot of things good happened for me, such as the Low record."
