Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell is planning to retire from Hip-Hop to launch an adult magazine and film company.
On the eve of the release of his audio book, Uncle Luke: My Life and Freaky Times, Luke has announced that the three-disc set will be his last release as a recording artist.
"I am tired of being in an industry that doesn't appreciate me," Luke told AllHipHop.com. "I have done so much for Hip-Hop and 'til this day, I haven't received any awards or any recognition for it. If it wasn't for the 2 Live Crew videos wouldn't look like they do and rappers wouldn't sound like they do."
Luke stated that his decision was in part is due to his treatment, but also to his interest in the adult film market.
"I am going into the adult market because they don't care what label you are signed to or who you know," Luke said. "My company is going to cater to the upscale urban market; it will [be] like Playboy, featuring our women and things we like to see."
Uncle Luke – My Life & Freaky Times contains two audio books from the rapper's upcoming book, written by Dara Cook, and an accompanying soundtrack which will feature new recordings from Trick Daddy, Petey Pablo, Jacki-O, Pitbull, Dirtbag, Big Tigger and others.
The audio book, slated for release in April 2006, also includes a secret link to view clips and purchase a DVD featuring celebrity romps through an undisclosed site.
