Review & Description
Nearly three years in the making, rap superstar and CTE/Def Jam recording artist Young Jeezy's new album, TM:103 `HUSTLERZ AMBITION' will finally arrive in stores December 20th, the long-awaited follow-up to 2008's The Recession. To call TM:103 the most anticipated street album of the year would be an understate¬ment - it is the album that Jeezy's millions of fans have been awaiting far too long.
In conjunction with the release of TM:103, the biographical film, Hustlerz Ambition, a raw chronicle of Jeezy's rise from the mean streets of Atlanta to international stardom, is set to air (airdates to be announced in the weeks ahead). The two-disc CD+DVD deluxe edition of TM:103 will contain the uncut version of the film, the most revealing and honest and graphic portrayal of Jeezy to date. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, directed by Chris Robinson, and produced by Cossette Productions (Grammys), this extraordinary documentary is a must-have for the Young Jeezy fan.
A brand new single by Jeezy, "F.A.M.E." featuring T.I. has been released in advance of the new album. "F.A.M.E." is actually the third major hit from TM:103, following up "Lose My Mind" featuring Plies, and "Ballin'" featuring Lil' Wayne.
Most recently, Jeezy completed a major 5-week, 31-city headlin¬ing summer tour (July 29th through September 2nd), which was followed by the opening performance of the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards spectacular in Atlanta. Prior to the tour, Jeezy celebrated the 6th anniversary of his RIAA platinum seminal classic debut album, TM 101 (aka Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101), performing the album in its entirety at clubs in New York and Atlanta.
TM:103 follows-up The Recession (September 2008), Jeezy's second consecutive #1 Sound¬scan debut (after 2006's The Inspiration). The Recession went straight to #1 at iTunes, and spun off a string of hit singles starting with "Put On" featuring Kanye West, #1 Rap and #1 R&B, and a #12 pop hit as well. The Grammy-nominated song was the second-highest charting Hot 100 hit of Jeezy's career, and was also nominated for the People's Champ Award at the BET Awards in October 2008.
The Recession continued the saga of Jeezy, one of the most successful rappers and entrepreneurs on the street today. It was the massive popularity and major-label sales of mixtapes like 2004's Trap Or Die that brought Jeezy national attention. His "million dollar dreams" turned into reality with the RIAA platinum #1 Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, one of 2005's biggest debut albums. A phenomenal seven tracks from Let's Get It found their way onto radio and the charts: "And Then What," "Soul Survivor," "Trap Or Die," "Go Crazy," "Tear It Up," "Trap Star," and "My Hood." The album topped many critics' year-end lists, was named the New York Times' Pop Album of the Year, and Jeezy was named Best New R&B/Hip-Hop Artist at the Billboard Music Awards. Jeezy was named in Rolling Stone's "New Faces: Artists To Watch" and MTV News' "You Hear It First."
2006's The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102 quickly pushed past RIAA platinum, out-selling nearly every rap album on the charts. In support, Jeezy hit the road with Jim Jones, Baby, Lil' Wayne, and Fat Joe for the seven-week, 23-city "Street Dream Tour" of March-April 2007.
Stay tuned for more on Jeezy and the trap album of the year, TM:103...
