During yesterday’s broadcast on Atlanta’s V103, DJ Greg Street announced Jeezy was pointed the new Senior Vice President of A&R. Although Da Snowman is now employed at Atlantic, he will continue to bring his hits to Def Jam as a solo artist. It’s the Universal Warner world. Congrats! complex
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
