Atlanta rapper Jeezy will play the Fox Theatre for album anniversary
BY MELISSA RUGGIERI
It’s been a decade since Jeezy (then known as “Young” Jeezy) released “Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101.”
The Atlanta rapper will celebrate the milestone with a concert at the Fox Theatre on July 25.
Jeezy will perform the classic album, which hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart and No. 1 on the Top Rap and Top R&B/Hip-Hop album charts in 2005, in its entirety for the first time.
Special guests are expected to join Jeezy as he rolls through songs such as “And Then What,” “Soul Survivor” and “My Hood,” though their identities are being kept a surprise.
Tickets for the summer concert, priced at $45-$199, will go on sale at 10 a.m. June 12 at www.foxatltix.com and the Fox Theatre box office.
Jeezy, who has sold more than 5 million albums in his career, released his fifth studio effort, “Seen it All,” last September.
Here’s a throwback from the “Let’s Get It” album to get you in a Jeezy mood.
