Over on his Instagram page, everything has been wiped clean except for a post regarding his final album. "Officially announcing my retirement with the release of 'No Pressure' executive produced by No I.D. July 24th...," Logic penned in the caption. "It’s been a great decade. Now it’s time to be a great father."

In April, Logic shared that he and his wife had welcomed their son into the world. It was just last September that he shared his next album would be a follow up to his 2014 debut studio album Under Pressure, however, his fans weren't aware that his forthcoming album would be his last. Check out Logic's post below and let us know if you're looking forward to his next drop.
