What sets YOUNG JEEZY'S music apart, is his ability to bring color and flash to a story that has been told so many times before. He's a true digital age artist who doesn't need 16 bars to develop a picture in your head. When he snaps off a verse the image is simple enough for everyone to feel it instantly. Young Jeezy's new album THE RECESSION slammed America, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, continuing the saga of Young Jeezy as one of the most successful rappers/entrepreneurs on the street today. This is the second consecutive #1 'pop' album debut for the multi-platinum Atlanta-based rapper. With Atlanta serving up some of the hottest products in the rap game, native son Young Jeezy stands as one of the most exciting merchants of cool to emerge in years. Thanks to underground testimonials like "Air Forces" and "Chuuch," Jeezy's street swagger and authentic style has quickly made believers out of some the biggest players in the game, from Fabolous to P. Diddy. In his native Atlanta, and throughout the south, Young Jeezy has created nothing short of a movement.

THE DREAM- The only positive byproduct of an industry asleep at the wheel is a dream. With over a decade of hit-making experience and a certified smash in Rihanna's #1 single, "Umbrella" Terius "The-Dream" Nash is stepping from behind the scenes with a wake-up call. His debut CD, Love Hate, is a sonic gauntlet thrown down against complacent, cookie cutter music. Propelled by the first single "Shawty is a Ten," the mastermind behind the explosive J. Holiday single "Bed" will do nothing short of redefine R&B.
