Veteran rapper/producer Daz Dillinger has announced he's officially retiring from making rap music.

"It's over for me," he wrote on Instagram. "...it's not fun no more."

Although Daz said it was his last post, he must've meant on that particular subject because he came back days later to announce his plans to open a studio in Atlanta, tentatively named Dogg Pound Sound Stage Studios.

"[I love the retirement life because when you're self made, you can do anything,]" he wrote before saying that he closed his deal on the property, which earned praise from his peers including Khujo and Big Gipp of Goodie Mob, Vallejo rapper Celly Cell, and the D.O.C.

Daz shot to stardom as a rapper and producer on the influential west coast imprint, Death Row Records in the early 90s. A member of the legendary group, Tha Dog Pound with Kurupt, Daz established himself as a standout producer while on the label, playing an instrumental role in shaping its sound alongside Dr. Dre, and working on Dre's classic The Chronic, before handling a lot of the production on Snoop's classic debut, Doggystyle. His work on the 1994 soundtracks Above the Rim and Murder Was the Case preceded his efforts on Dogg Pound's 1995 era-establishing debut, Dogg Food, and his work on 2Pac's All Eyez On Me. In all, the Grammy-nominated rapper/producer has released eight albums with Tha Dogg Pound and 19 solo projects, and also founded his own label D.P.G. Recordz with Soopafly.

No word as of yet on his exact plans for his new studio property.
