New Lady In Young Jeezy's Life?

Well lookey lookey lookey... what do we have here? A new love interest perhaps? Whatever the case may be, my fellow ATLien, FreddyO, over at FreddieO.com was able to take a few snap shots of the mystery woman that is seen here getting out of Young Jeezy's corvette the other night at the club. Maybe she's in the industry and he was just giving her a ride to the club? Could be that she's just a homie. Hmmm... only time will tell.

DJ Drama & Young Jeezy Keep the "Drama" Goin!

I'm hearing that it went down last night here in the A. Last night at Luckie Food Lounge DJ Drama and Young Jeezy were on hand for a little mingling and relaxation. Instead of enjoying the night with all the ladies and the fellas chillin all over the place, a fight broke out between the two hip hop heavies. Most of you already know that there has been bad blood between these two camps for some time now but last night didn't help matters. My sources tell me that Jezzy's bodyguard ended up getting stabbed several times and that Akon's younger brother Bu was locked up. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the stabbing, but as the details come in, I'll keep you guys posted.

Shout out to Kilbs for the info!

    Young Jeezy Is Top Billin Atlanta Birthday Bash

    How can Young Jeezy outdo himself this year? Well, Jeezy has just been announced as the headlining act for one of the biggest hip-hop concerts of the year: Atlanta radio station 107.9's 14th annual Birthday Bash.

    Jeezy has the task of closing the concert that also features Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, OJ Da Juiceman, Soulja Boy Tell'em, Yung L.A., Trey Songz, Young Dro, Hurricane Chris, Jeremih, Keri Hilson, F.L.Y., Lil' Will, Pleasure P and Plies. Birthday Bash 14 takes place June 20 at Philips Arena in Atlanta. At last year's Birthday Bash, Jeezy stole the show, bringing Kanye West and Usher onstage, among others.

    "I gave you a show," Jeezy told us backstage after last year's show. "[At the] Birthday Bash two years ago, I brought out Jay-Z. Shout-outs to Hov. It's about topping it. Making people step their game up. Relationships is everything. When you really know people, you tell them, 'Come through, we got Birthday Bash. Be there,' and they there? To me, that means everything. This year I called out Dream, Kanye, Usher, Blood Raw. ... I'm from Atlanta, so they pretty much see you every day. They know you gonna come out, but when you bring those special people out, it just gives it that extra umph. Me, personally, I take pride in Birthday Bash. Birthday Bash 13 was mine, by the way.

    "Shout-out to Kanye, he flew all the way in," Jeezy added about West, who had another concert the same night. "I had to throw him a private jet courtesy of Young." Usher flew in last year from Japan.

    Jeezy had a huge moment last week at Hot 97's Summer Jam in New Jersey when he brought Jay-Z and Drake onstage for his set.

    Who Needs A Rap Tour?

    Boy oh boy... if I was a tweeny bopper, I'd probably be trying to baby sit every kids on the block to get these tickets. Talk about a summer jam, how about Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Drake, and Soulja Boy Tell'em all on the same ticket doing one of the biggest rap tours in a while.

    MTV News reports that a a reliable source in Lil Waynes camp told them that this whole tour isn't quite set in stone just yet, but they're hoping something will work out with at least a third of all that was named. In May, Drake told MuchMusic about a similar tour that, at the time, was supposed to include Jay-Z.

    "God willing, if everything goes according to plan and everybody's schedule is in place, then I will be on tour with some amazing people," Drake said. "One of them being Jay-Z, one of them being Lil Wayne, one of them being Young Jeezy and one of them being me."

    Jay Z has his own tour lined up for the summer with Ciara that will begin in Vegas on July 3rd. Thursday night from the Los Angeles Lakers game, Soulja Boy Tell'em announced the tour on Twitter.

    "TSA (Twitter Service Announcement) — I'm going on Tour with Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy & Drake this summer! Get ya tickets ASAP!!!!" he Tweeted.

    Dates for the tour are still being locked down.

    Jeezy, TI & Kanye Jump On the Video Game Band Wagon

    We all saw the pics and have heard the stories and Jay-Z and Eminem being one of the driving forces behind the latest video game craze in the upcoming “DJ Hero”, and once that news broke, er'body wanted to get a piece of the pie.

    Young Jeezy, T.I., and Kanye West have also garnered positions in the newest game coming out called “Rapstar” video game, a direct competitor for “DJ Hero.”

    “Rapstar” will be made by the newly formed 4mm Games, a company created in part by two co-founders of Rockstar Games. In the game, a performance is recorded using cameras for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Once a song is complete, players can then take a 30-second clip and upload it to the Rapstar online community.

    An Executive Vice President at the company says the game will allow fans to create “the music video of the next generation that stars you.” Other features included in the game will be a Battle mode (where players alternate rhyming lyrics to score the most points) and Freestyle mode (that lets players perform their own raps and songs over instrumental tracks).

    Young Jeezy Registers To Vote

    Young Jeezy arrived yesterday (Sept 4) in his sky-blue Lamborghini during a voter registration drive his company sponsored at Justin's Restaurant in the Buckhead section of Atlanta. At the event Jeezy didn't spare the people in promoting his new album The Recession as well. It's a great thing to see though. Despite what everyone's intentions are, I'm glad to see a lot of our young generation excited about politics. Jeezy even registered to vote at the event too!

    Jeezy Says Phelps The Snowman of Swimming

    It's been a long time comin now that the rap game has infultrated the pre-dominately white swim world. You can credit 8 time gold metalist Michael Phelps for that. But let Phelps tell it... it couldn't have been so successful without the help of the "Snowman", Young Jeezy.

    Phelps typically listened to the Jeezy/R. Kelly collaboration “Go Getta” before hitting the pool, which Jeezy himself doesn’t find surprising. “All my music is inspirational,” he told Rolling Stone magazine. “You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.”

    I'm sure you can gather from what I'm saying that Michael Phelps is not only a fan of Young Jeezy, but a fan of the hip hop community itself. "I’m a big fan of Michael Phelps! He’s a great success. I like what he’s doing. He’s like the Young Jeezy of the swim world. I love it!" Jeezy stated in the interview.

    During the interview, Jeezy revealed that he's been in touch with Michael Phelps' people and they definitely plan on doing something together. Jeezy hopes to maybe put on a concert of some sort for the folks of Phelps' hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. "We're definitely very proud of him back over here, real talk. You don’t go over there and win that many medals, man. Maybe he can lend me one for a video or something."

    When asked if the "Snowman" himself goes swimming, "No, man. Somebody threw me in a pool once when I was younger and I had to work it out, but other than that, no."
