The rapper’s debut album takes on a classical spin
Jeezy fans will get a different view for the celebration of the recording artist’s 20th anniversary of his 2005 album, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, when it takes on a classical spin.
According to Variety, the Atlanta rapper and businessman is taking an orchestra on tour with him, TM:101 Live, to celebrate his third solo studio album. It’s being labeled a “black-tie symphonic tour” and will also have DJ Drama as a special guest.

The summer tour is hitting the road on June 27 in Miami and will go across the country until the last date, Sept. 12 in Detroit. The shows are produced by Grammy-winner Adam Blackstone and the Color of Noize Orchestra, with bassist and composer Derrick Hodge as the conductor. Fans will have a different experience as the symphony will be playing the music for the former Boyz n da Hood rapper.
“I’m incredibly grateful that we’re here celebrating 20 years of motivation! This album is cemented in the cultural zeitgeist that serves as the soundtrack to modern-day storytelling of the genre,” said Jeezy in a written statement. “This album had the impact it does because it was raw without hidden truth. I can’t wait for the fans to experience the album in a new way with this tour.”
Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and was No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart.
