As aforementioned, back in October P announced his solo retirement plans while promoting the launch of his Respect My Legacy tour which kicks off on Nov. 27. The tour will be supported by Smoke DZA and will feature live band Ramakhandra on most dates except for his 49th birthday show at New York's Irving Plaza, where he will be backed by Brady Watts Bass & Bars Ensemble. In an interview with Billboard, P said that music has consumed a great deal of his time, and that he has other ventures that he'd like to pursue.
“If you look at the amount of solo albums I have compared to artists my age, I think I’ve done my job, and I’ve done it well," he said. "I’ve provided fans with so much music, and it consumes a large part of my life. But there’s a lot of other things I want to do, and now I’m ready to do that.”
No word yet on when his project with Black Thought will arrive.
