The Grammy-winner has obtained near-mythical status since largely retiring from the rap game nearly a decade ago.

While he never officially retired, he has been open in interviews about his social anxiety and his fears about releasing new music that did not live up to the award-winning albums he and Big Boi used to release.

In an interview in December, he spoke with Rick Rubin about his struggles making new music.

“I haven’t been making much music, man. My focus is not there. My confidence is not there. I tinker a lot. I’ll just go to a piano and sit my iPhone down and just record what I’m doing. Move my fingers around and whatever happens, but I haven’t been motivated to do a serious project," he said during the interview on the Broken Record podcast.

"I’d like to, but it’s just not coming. In my own self I’m trying to figure out where do I sit? I don’t even know what I am and maybe I’m nothing. Maybe I’m not supposed to be anything. Maybe my history is kind of handicapping in a way,” he added.

But it seems his retreat from public life has made his fans love him even more.

His random sightings have become the stuff of legends now and endeared him to even more fans.
