ATLANTA — We recently caught up with Atlanta rapper and businessman Jeezy The Snowman on the heels of the release of his new album off the Thug Motivation series titled “TM 104: The Legend Of The Snowman”.
The album features some big-time industry heavy-weights such as Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Ty Dolla $ign, John Legend, and it really details his life like an audio book of lessons throughout the years. He came by to reflect with The A-Scene’s Francesca Amiker.
“I love the [song] EnTRAPreneur. You know we always associate the music with trap. For me, I feel like its gotta be bigger than me,” Jeezy said. “For me, I’m an entrepreneur. I own several businesses and several ventures. I can’t be scared to grow.”
Additionally, Jeezy performed an All White Concert in celebration of the release of his latest album, this past Friday for a sold-out crowd at the Coca-Cola Roxy in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
