Music
Young Jeezy released his first independent album, Thuggin' Under the
Influence (T.U.I.), in 2001 under the name Lil J.[6] It featured
artists such as Kinky B, Fidank, and Lil Jon, who also produced some
of the tracks. In 2003, Jeezy released (also independently) Come Shop
Wit' Me, a two CD set featuring completely new tracks along with some
songs from T.U.I. Come Shop Wit' Me sold 50,000 copies world wide.[7]
In 2004, he signed with Bad Boy Records and joined the Boyz n da Hood
group. Boyz n da Hood’s self-titled album was released on June 21,
2005 and peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Young Jeezy
also released a solo album around this time, which was his major label
debut, with Def Jam Records. Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 was
released on July 26, 2005 and debuted at #2, selling 172,000 copies in
its first week. Guest appearances include Young Buck, T.I., Trick
Daddy, Akon, Mannie Fresh, Lil Scrappy, Bun B, Lloyd, Slick Pulla, &
Lil Will.[8] In interviews and on several records, Young Jeezy has
affirmed his resistance to commercialism in his music.[9] Maintaining
his street credibility, according to Jeezy, is of the utmost concern
to him as an artist.[10] In 2005, Young Jeezy was featured in several
popular hip hop songs including Gucci Mane’s “Icy”[11] and Boyz n da
Hood’s “Dem Niggaz”.
In 2006, he was featured in Christina Milian’s single “Say I”. Jeezy’s
second major label album is The Inspiration, which features Project
Pat, T.I., Keyshia Cole, Three 6 Mafia, R. Kelly, Bloodraw and Slick
Pulla (the latter two of which are members of Jeezy’s rap group USDA).
The album’s first single “I Luv It” has peaked at #14 on the Billboard
Hot 100, making it Jeezy’s second highest single to date. The second
single is “Bury Me a G”. The 3rd single is the club banger “Go Getta”
which features R. Kelly. Young Jeezy’s “I am the Street Dream” tour
started in March 2007. He also appeared as himself in the hip-hop
fighting themed game Def Jam: Icon that can be added to the player’s
record label. Young Jeezy appeared on BET’s Access Granted for his
song “Dreamin’?” with Keyshia Cole on May 2, 2007. In 2007, Young
Jeezy released Cold Summer, an album by rap group USDA which consists
of Young Jeezy, Slick Pulla, and Blood Raw.
