“from the trap to the world to grammy nominations to the boardroom my n—a @YoungJeezy,” his right hand DJ Folk tweeted shortly after.
Jeezy’s most recent LP “TM 103: Hustlerz Ambition,” is now certified gold, having already yielded a number of singles including the Ne-Yo-assisted “Leave You Alone.”
Jeezy also fronts his CTE World (Corporate Thugz Entertainment) label, which features such up and coming MCs as Freddie Gibbs, Tone Trump and Boo Rossini. What this latest move means for Jeezy’s CTE artists is indefinite at this point. It is also unclear how the move may affect Young’s career as a solo artist, he is currently signed to Def Jam Records.
Congratulations to Jeezy!
