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.

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 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.

Rating: - "WHY THEY KEEP SAYIN YEEAAH I DONT EVEN KNOW"
Young Jeezy is growing up. The young man who brought us the term `Trap or Die' and those ridiculous Snowman T-shirts is transforming right before our eyes into a respectable artist. He started off as a `thug rapper'. He followed that up with a more retrospective side. Some people thought he went soft, so he came back with "The Recession".
Jeezy is a throwback to the B-Boy days of the 80's and early 90's. You can see him chillin with Rakim orslamin' with Onyx. He has improved his lyrical ... Read More

- Young Jeezy - The Recession
This album really surprised me alot. I was never really a big Jeezy fan until this album. I remember hearing his first two albums all the time and thinking he was alright, but i never bought the albums. But with The Recession, i felt like Jeezy was coming with more of a purpose with this album. Because with his first two albums, i felt like they were more mixtapeish albums, that had a more underground feel to them, not that they were bad albums, but The Recession seemed like it was a more thought out and ...

- Thought it was better then I thought it was going to be!
At first I thought this album wasn't going to be that great. But We had nothing else to listen to at the party and I thought it was actaully pretty good. The problem I initally had the with playing this album or any of its songs at parties or around friends, is that I thought the lyrics might be way too deep and boring. And he might try to pull of a Jay-Z or Public Enemy, a song with slow beats and not fun to listen to. But he proved me wrong and I actually enjoyed the album alot! I thought it was pretty ...

Rating: - The Best of Jeezy...
I have to admit, I really did not like Young Jeezy's first two albums. I just felt that his content was recycle from everyone else that I have ever heard of from my music catalog. Don't get me wrong, Jeezy has put out great songs and displayed that he does have credentials to become greater than what other critics preceived him.
And, then, The Recession came out in 2008...and it is his best effor yet.
Young Jeezy displays his best lyrics yet, tackling more issues of the struggle ... Read More
