Interview: Brian “B.Dot” Miller
Despite the recent drama, Young Jeezy’s been busy from the top to the bottom of the map. Last month, he dropped the mixtape, Trappin’ Ain’t Dead and announced the title of his fourth album, Thug Motivation 103. In part two of our interview, Da Snowman discusses his latest projects, Kobe, and LeBron.
The reception from your mixtape, Trappin’ Ain’t Dead has been real positive.
A lot cats thought it was an album, but I ain’t even look at it like that. When I do mixtapes, I don’t just do it like it’s just street music, I do it as if I was recording a record, a regular song. It came out good though. I got another tape about to drop with DJ Scream in a few and its called, I’m On My Way and I mean, that’s pretty much where I’m at now. I’m working on the album, Thug Motivation 103. This gotta be the one right here cause I’m going back to my roots. I just feel like it was an intervention thing. Everybody was like you need to do this, you gotta do that if you wanna be big. I was like, “man, I’m big in the hood,” I think that’s good enough. That’s who I’m supposed to be, feel me?







It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
