Young Jeezy's voter registration

Arts and Culture

Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy hosted a voter registration drive at Justin's Restaurant in Atlanta.

Rap artist Young Jeezy arrives in his sky-blue Lamborghini during a voter registration drive his company sponsored Thursday (Sept. 4) at Justin's Restaurant in Atlanta.

Young Jeezy has gotten more political with his new CD called "The Recession." He told the AJC's Sonia Murray: "I'm just meeting the people, the streets, where they are - in 'The Recession' - hard times....A time where you could look at a young man doing something great, like just getting out of college, and still not be surprised that he ain't looking so happy. Half of his family just lost their jobs. The other half is worried theyâ⿬⿢re about to lose their jobs."

Young Jeezy took the opportunity to promote his new CD.

These young men enthusiastically took part.

And what do you know, Akon was there too. He and Young Jeezy have collaborated in the past.

It's no secret who the young artist would like to be president.

Young Jeezy registered himself to vote in the Nov. 4 presidential election.

And he encouraged others to do the same.
