Westside Gunn has had a few great years, inking a deal with Eminem and Shady Records, then inking a separate deal with the Jigga man himself, Jay-Z.

But, according to the Buffalo rapper, his last year in rap will be 2020 and he's going down as one of the greatest ever. 

Gunn hit Instagram today after a story leaked that he and Madlib's new project will be releasing in 2020. 

He verified the story but also broke the news about his retirement, and the legacy he hopes to leave.
