“Life goes on & music money fame etc. is a job but it’s not real life”
Yesterday Juicy J took to Twitter describing his conflicted feelings with continuing his music career and potential retirement. Though they began with him reminiscing on Oscar day about his surprise win in 2006, he quickly shifted to talking about his future. He revealed he may take a job as CEO of an unnamed major record label and while he’s not sure about anything right now, the upcoming album Pure THC: The Hustle Continues may be his last. Read the his comments below.
I won a academy award 10 years ago & done so many great things in my career

Regardless of what happens we can still expect plenty of music to come from the Three 6 Mafia founder this year. THC is scheduled to drop later this summer and we know J has been in the studio with One Direction’s Liam Payne. Most importantly, Gangsta Boo confirmed last year that J will be a part of Three 6 Mafia’s long awaited reunion album.
