Rapper Young Jeezy, otherwise known as Jay S. Jenkins, was busted by Atlanta cops early Wednesday and charged with speeding, no proof of insurance, open container, reckless driving and driving while impaired by alcohol/drugs, the Atlanta Police Department said. Jeezy was arrested early Wednesday, near Interstate 85 and Buford Highway, the department said.

Jenkins' attorney, Scott E. Leemon of New York, issued the following statement: "Last night, at approximately 2:30 a.m., Young Jeezy was pulled over by the Atlanta Police Department shortly after leaving the studio to work on his new album, 'The Recession.' After being charged with various automobile related offenses, Jeezy was quickly processed and released. A court date has been scheduled and Jeezy looks forward to getting the matter resolved."

In happier news for Jeezy, he's drawn some more welcome attention from Rolling Stone. The music mag's June 26 edition calls him "the South's gnarliest MC."
