With his upcoming album, THC: The Hustle Continues, set for release at some point in July, Juicy J took to Twitter yesterday and hinted that he might retire from making music following the release.
The longtime Three Six Mafia rapper and producer signed a partial ownership and A&R deal with Wiz Khalifa’sTaylor Gang Records in 2011 and in one Tweet Juicy J plays with the idea of doubling down on the role, writing, “I been having thoughts about retiring from rap & becoming a CEO at a major label to help others in the music buisness.” The announcement comes less than a month after news that J has been tapped as a co-executive producer on A$AP Rocky’s next full-length.
Juicy J began with a reference to his Oscar win as a part of Three Six Mafia in 2005 and ended the Tweets by writing, “music money fame etc. is a job but it’s not real life.”
