Young Jeezy entered the rap game 10 years ago and is one of the best to do it.<\/p>\n

His unique tone and delivery set him apart from a lot of rappers and is a key element that has made him relevant in today\u2019s rap game.<\/p>\n

Although recently facing a lot of legal trouble regarding gun charges, this did not stop the release of his seventh studio album, \u201cSeen It All: The Autobiography.\u201d<\/p>\n

Different from all of his previous albums that retold his life in the drug game, this album is the total opposite of that and the transition went well. On this album, he has switched into an inspirational tone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t really a Young Jeezy fan but after listening to this album, I definitely have become one,\u201d said Dana Roberts, a senior entrepreneurship major from New Jersey.<\/p>\n

The first song on the album \u201c1\/4 Block\u201d was a great choice to start the album off on a high, which is a trademark of all Jeezy albums. The rest of the album is really mellow, but not losing any momentum. Each track on this album is personal and you can tell by the lyrics.<\/p>\n

The two most popular songs off the album are \u201cMe OK\u201d and \u201cSeen It All\u201d featuring rap game legend Jay Z. These two singles were released this summer in anticipation of the album.<\/p>\n

The Drumma Boy produced \u201cMe OK\u201d would be considered a classic Jeezy track with its hard beat. The \u201cSeen It All\u201d record was produced by Cardo and according to hotnewhiphop.com, it was originally supposed to be on Jay Z\u2019s most recent album. Nonetheless the track got a lot of airplay and is my second favorite of all the songs.<\/p>\n

The Don Cannon and Frank Dukes produced track \u201cHoly Ghost\u201d which is a song about bad decisions he has made. This song speaks about losing friends and family. I related to it as soon as it came on.<\/p>\n

The track \u201cBeautiful\u201d is my favorite song on the entire album featuring Rick Ross and The Game. Black Metaphor produced this song and the beat is a very smooth instrumental. The rappers are talking about their lifestyles, which are beautiful women, cars, and cribs.<\/p>\n

Young Jeezy\u2019s \u201cSeen it All: The Autobiography\u201d is a very unique album and showcases all the styles that Jeezy has. The album flowed smoothly from song to song and is very lyrical as well. I believe that it is the best albums Jeezy has put out in his decade long career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
