I was releasing an album every year … I just looked up one day and I was like, ‘I’m tired.’ I’d never been on vacation until, say, 2000, my whole life.” This time, he says he has no intentions of walking away — “for good” or otherwise — despite <a href="https://uproxx.com/music/conway-the-machine-jay-z-not-working-new-music/" target="_blank">not currently having any projects in the works</a>.“I don’t know what happens next,” he acknowledges. “I’m not actively making music or making an album or have plans to make an album, but I never want to say that I’m retired.
