Longtime hip hop listeners remember it like it was yesterday when Young Jeezy released his commercial debut. Late during the summer of 2005, a new voice from Atlanta emerged. His album was uniquely-titled Thug Motivation 101. Six years have passed since that release.

Young Jeezy is currently putting the finishing touches on his fourth studio album, Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition. On his latest album, Young Jeezy is keeping the guest appearances to a minimum. The reason he is keeping the album's guest appearances low is because he wants the music to be timeless.

In trying to make timeless music, Young Jeezy also spoke on the changes that have taken place since 2005. Young Jeezy said hip hop is now more of a hustler's game than it was five and six years ago. In his mind, the streets is where the heart of rap music is now. Speaking on the corporate world, Jeezy said he thinks they do not understand the culture behind the hip hop game.
