After a legendary career, Arsonal has decided to retire from battle rap. In the announcement, made on Instagram, Ars indicated that there have been positive developments in his music career that have necessitated the retirement. On a positive note for Arsonal fans, he didn't say his last battle has already happened, but rather that this would be his last year, so there is a chance he'll book more battles before leaving.
