CORPORATE THUG: YOUNG JEEZY NAMED SENIOR VP A&R FOR ATLANTIC RECORDS.

Young Jeezy and #MsKemi outside the Hot 107.9FM Atlanta Summer Jam in 2004

I found him on the streets of Atlanta hawking CD's from the car trunk at a Hot 107.9FM concert. Always a hustler dying to make it in the business of music. I never gave up on Young Jeezy. He would sell T-shirts, demos and anything possible to make that $$. See me rocking my Jeezy shirt below. I have now preserved it in the hall of collectibles.

I woke up to hear that Sno had just been named senior vice president of A&R at Atlantic Records, and this morning those rumors were confirmed by the rapper himself.

He tweeted a message that was also retweeted by Atlantic -- by saying "From the streets to the Boardroom. SVP of A&R at Atlantic Records I am. Let's Get it!" That tweet has since been deleted and replaced with the MTV phrase he was describes as "Corporate Thug" 

Jeezy's latest album, "TM103: Hustlaz Ambition," came out last December on Def Jam and he was in Canada earlier this year to tour in what became a string of concerts marred with shootings by wannabe Canadian THUGS. Jeezy does not subscribe to that kind of foolishness and violence. Music is music and Shyt is REAL. Stop the violence is all he preaches.

Congrats to Jay Wayne Jenkins aka Corporate thug Young Jeezy. Now let me see you make that money and exceed Jay-Z's earnings. Young Jeezy is a father to one son above and a community Philantropist who always gives back to the community. Every back to school season on a normal day, you will see him giving kids backpacks and school supplies all over Atlanta--MsKemi @HipHossip on Twitter

NOT AGAIN: YOUNG JEEZY'S CONCERT MARRED WITH A DOUBLE SHOOTING LAST NITE IN LONDON, ONTARIO. MONTREAL SHOW TONITE YANKED!

The Montreal show tonite is already CANCELLED! 

Young Jeezy's Canadian tour has been marred with SHOOTINGS and being shut down by police from city to city! First Calgary, then Toronto and now London.

After the Toronto concert was cancelled on Thursday nite, I noticed on Facebook that disappointed fans were flocking to Jeezy's concert in London, Ontario. London is a small nice city close to Toronto and has a lot of urban music loving residents. Many people in London are WHITE and white hip-hop fans want nothing but to enjoy their music.

Another city in Canada like that is Kingston, Ontario which I lived for a year. However, London is also currently hosting a huge murder trial  for a young girl named Tori Stafford so media is cluttered over there as it is and police try to maintain order. On St Patrick's day, the city had a big outbreak of violence when several young ppl on a drinking binge and spree went nuts and burned down 17 police cruisers and a CTV news van.After all that, I felt that I had to do some snitch warnings and I called PC Rivers at London Police Media Relations to tell him there was a shooting at the Toronto Jeezy venue and I wanted the artists and the concert goers PROTECTED.

We spoke for a good 40 mins and the cops had it together ready for the nite, but to my shock another bunch of hoodlooms came out there with guns.

People inside the London Music Hall started running when shots rang out during the opening act of the Young Jeezy show in London Thursday night. “We were just running away, trying to get safe,” said one man, who travelled from Toronto to London for the concert. “I saw people running away. We went outside and we couldn’t leave right away, we had to answer a few (police) questions first.” The man, who would not give his name, said the shooting happened at the back of the club during the opening act.

He was back at the scene early Friday, dropping off a friend, who was picking up his car from a city parking lot that was surrounded by yellow police tape. More than 10 cruisers filled the Queens Ave. parking lot Thursday night about 11:30 p.m. when officers responded to a shooting inside the 600-seat venue in downtown London, which had been sold out for the show.

London police Friday revealed two men had been shot after a fight broke out inside the club. One of the men was treated at a Toronto hospital for a superficial gunshot wound. He has since been released.
Middlesex London EMS said one person was taken to hospital from the scene. That man is in serious, but stable condition, and police said his wounds are not considered life threatening.

London police are looking into whether the shooting Thursday night is linked to another shooting at a Young Jeezy show in Toronto earlier that day. “We have no suggestion that it is, but that’s something that’s being considered as part of this,” said Const. Anthea Fordyce. Police don’t have anyone in custody, nor do they have a description of the shooter, she said.

Police swarmed the club about midnight, taking names of people who were trying to leave, said a man who lives in the area. He said officers searched the area “pretty thoroughly” Thursday night.

Uniformed officers continued the search early Friday, checking in dumpsters and recycling bins in back alleys, as well as bushes around buildings in the area. Officers also scoured two nearby parking lots, looking for clues in the shooting. Investigators are interviewing witnesses and combing through surveillance cameras — both inside the club and city cameras on the street — as they continue to search for clues.

There is nobody in custody yet. If you have any info, pls call 1800222TIPS and snitch them in--MsKemi @HipHossip

YOUNG JEEZY CONCERT FALLS VICTIM TO SWINE FLU.

A concert headlined by rapper YOUNG JEEZY at the University of Delaware has been scrapped by school officials after an outbreak of swine flu in the state. Jeezy and rap newcomer Drake were due to play a show at the Bob Carpenter Center on Thursday night (30Apr09), but the gig was called off on Wednesday (29Apr09) following the suspected discovery of 10 cases of the avian illness among students, reports AllHipHop.com.

University of Delaware President Patrick T. Harker says, "While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have not yet confirmed any swine flu diagnoses, I have no doubt that these suspected cases are causing a great deal of concern among the entire campus community. "The University's first priority is the health and well-being of our students and employees. Therefore, we are working closely with the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) to safeguard student, staff, and faculty health. The first death from the swine flu epidemic currently gripping America was confirmed on Monday (27Apr09) - a Mexican infant who passed away in Texas.

YOUNG JEEZY IS INTERVIEWED BY RADIO PERSONALITY ANGIE MARTINEZ.

Thanks to Dime Wars, we get to hear everything Young Jeezy had to say to top rated hip-hop radio personality and rapper Angie Martinez of Hot 97FM in New York. Like I always rant, Jeezy is one of those ones that I met before they became famous. He used to hawk t-shirts and CD's out of the car trunk like this night I met him outside the Hot 107.9FM birthday bash in 2004. Now he's one of the headlining acts.

Congrats to Jeezy on his success and you bet I smoked my producer pal Janice at NBC in NYC for not having Jeezy perform alongside Michael Phelps on the season opener of SNL last week. Remember, Phelps said he listens to Jeezy's music before he hits the water.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: YOUNG JEEZY AT THE TABERNACLE CLUB IN ATL.

He has said he appreciates the nods history-making Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps has given him in the national media, naming him as one of the eight influences for the eight gold medals he won in Beijing. Photo by Robb D. Cohen / Retna Ltd. See the rest of the photos here.

I'm so proud of Jeezy from back in the days when he used to hawk his t-shirts and demos.
