Jeezy Announces ‘TM:101 Live’ Album
The symphonic reimagining of the rapper’s debut album arrives on July 26.
Jeezy continues his career anniversary celebration with the announcement of a new live album, TM:101 Live. Set for a July 26 release (the 20th anniversary of his debut album), the LP is a symphonic reimagining of his major-label debut, 2005’s Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101.
Rather than a standard live version of the original album, the Atlanta rapper worked with Grammy and Emmy Award winner Adam Blackstone and renowned composer Derrick Hodge with the Color of Noize Orchestra to transform his debut hits into orchestral arrangements.
The album will be available in various formats and across all streaming platforms. The announcement arrives amid Jeezy’s TM:101 Live, a black-tie symphonic tour featuring DJ Drama as a special guest. The classical reimagining of the songs was inspired by the 2023 show he performed alongside the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. It kicked off in Miami on June 27 with remaining dates stopping in Nashville, Chicago, New Orleans, Atlanta and more until it wraps up in Detroit on September 12.
“20 years in the game, it’s more than music—it’s purpose. And that is and always has been to inspire and elevate the culture!” Jeezy shared in a press release. “Thank you to those who never stop believing!”
He continued: “20 years of victories, struggles, and growth—every setback was worth it,” Jeezy says. “If I could talk to my younger self in ’05, I’d say: ‘They might hear you in ’05, but in 2025, they gon’ feel you!’ You’re doing God’s work! Keep going!”
Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA. The album features singles like “And Then What” with Mannie Fresh, “Soul Survivor” with Akon, “Go Crazy” (the remix featuring Jay-Z), and “My Hood”. “Soul Survivor”—one of Jeezy’s signature hits—is his most successful as a lead artist, hitting No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
