Album Description
YOUNG JEEZY is the TRUTH! His story represents the struggle, pain, and pressure that anyone living in the hood deals with. It also gives you the inspiration and motivation to make it out, be successful, and achieve your goals. His motto is "If you can think it you can do it" Young Jeezy is one of the premier artists to emerge from Atlanta's ongoing "rap movement." Not only does he have high performance energy, but he is also a great story teller. He has the ability to bring color and flash to a story that has been told so many times before. He's a true digital age artist who doesn't need 16 bars to develop a picture in your head. He has also worked with artists such as Kanye West, Lil Jon, Usher, Young Buck, T.I., Trick Daddy, Akon, Mannie Fresh, Lil Scrappy, Bun B, Lloyd, Slick Pulla, & Lil Will and Mariah Carey.

He also loves to give back to the community and donate to charity events. He presented a toy drive for the first annual Toyz n da Hood toy drive which provided 1,000 toys for 1,000 kids in his home town of Atlanta.

 Lazy rhymes over typical beats December 1, 2008
John C. Malonson III (Los Angeles)
Jeezy's lyrical talent is in a recession. This album is mind-numbingly simple which should please his core base of fans. Wouldn't want anyone to hurt themselves listening to 1 semi-intelligent verse. Luckily, Jeezy provides little to no threat in that department. Should definitely consider adding some caffeine to the flow. Don't care to hear "Yeeeeeaaaaah! Ha Ha, Ha Ha!" on every d@mn song.
 IF YOUNG IS WHAT THEY WANT, THEN YOUNG IS WHAT THEY GETTIN!!! November 21, 2008

4.5 Stars! Another great CD from the Snowman! October 29, 2008

I almost gave the CD 5 stars, and its very well worthy of it, just like his last two. I'm gonna go ahead and call it 4-4.5 just cuz this isnt really too groundbreaking or original. Kinda more of the same from Jeezy, and it can get a tad repetitive. But, if you've liked anything you've ever heard from Jeezy, you'll like this album. Lots of good beats, and the lyrical content is really above par. Keep it coming Jeezy!
