After about sixteen years in the rap game Jeezy is hanging it up and ending his illustrious career as a rapper. The Atlanta spitter came in the game as Young Jeezy and dropped his ‘Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101′ in 2005.
Jizzle went on to release another nine albums throughout the years, while winning two BET Awards, earning four GRAMMY nominations, and two American Music Awards noms. He’s also had several Billboard charting hits.
Before calling it quits, Jeezy intends to release his final album ‘Thug Motivation 104: Trust the Process’, expected to be released sometime this year.
The news of his retirement and final album was announced on his Twitter account after a “Cold Summer Tour” stop, where he said he was “inspired” seeing all his fans since his first album and “class TM 101 come out every night.” He continued by writing, “Now class is coming to a end. It’s time for Graduation! My Last Album & Final Class: TM104.”

His success has surpassed rapping and hip-hop as he had several business ventures like stakes in Tequila Avion. In January he and business partner Ken Austin sold their stakes but will remain involved with the brand and incentivized through 2020.
Cheers, Jizzle.
