Young Jeezy started rapping in 2001 with Hip-Hop group USDA but it wasn’t until he became a member of Boyz n da Hood in 2005 that he garnished the recognition that he truly deserved. His perseverance and dedication to his craft paid off when he released, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, his solo effort in 2005 and it’s song “Soul Survivor” featuring Akon became a Top-10 hit in the U.S.
The success of Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 allowed Jeezy to record and release two subsequent albums The Inspiration in 2006 and The Recession in 2008, which both had hit singles. However, it’s Jeezy’s collaborations with other artists that have gained him respect of the hip-hop community including the singles “I’m So Paid” with his friend Akon, “Say I” by Christina Millian, and “Love In This Club” by Usher, which became a number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2008.
