SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE: THE DEEP FREEZE CONTINUES AS YOUNG JEEZY STORMS THE AIRWAVES WITH JAY-Z COLLAB

THE NUMBER 1 ARTIST IN AMERICA DELIVERS "GET CRAZY" TO RADIO, THE NET AND RETAILERS 8/15!

"Jeezy stands as one of the most appealing artists in hip-hop... Da Snowman has a solo debut set-up unseen since The Game...rap's Trapper Of The Year had put himself in contention for rookie of the year. For now, Jeezy's content with speaking solely to the hood, but...once he decides to set up shop in the mainstream, he'll be one of the realest on that strip as well." - XXL

"Young Jeezy's official debut album, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, shows off his warm, raspy voice, his down-home charm and his no-nonsense approach to record-making... Jeezy's laid-back steez and deep rasp often prove irresistible... The album hammers home his persona as a world-weary ex-hustler who's got as much regular-guy appeal as he's got cash and horror stories... As far as the rap game goes, the South is rising again and again." - Rolling Stone

"Today is the day that Atlanta hip-hop sees the release of another classic --- Young Jeezy's 'Let's Get It,' a fearsome gangsta rap album that's as clever and addictive as Dr. Dre's 1992 landmark 'The Chronic.'" - Atlanta Journal Constitiution
