Jeezy tells us about his Verzuz battle with Gucci Mane, his new album, rap in the Biden era and much more

dropping just hours after the stream ended. Jeezy also, where he’s also been named a senior advisor to the chairman, a role he relishes as Def Jam and the rest of the music business continue their efforts to address long-standing inequalities for black musicians and industry workers. about squashing old beef, making albums in a political landscape, and his hope for change in a Biden-led America.

You’d also brought up Magic City being an important spot for your career on the stream. Were you involved in getting the club as the venue for the event? No, it was all done from what I said. And I explained that to them. I was like, “You’d never ask Tupac to do this anywhere other than somewhere in Oakland, if he were still alive.” If we’re going to do this, I have to do it at Magic, because that’s where I want to celebrate my legacy.

It’s a bit ironic, though, to be going on Verzuz to squash this long-standing beef with Gucci, but also to release “Therapy for my Soul,” calling out 50 Cent and Freddie Gibbs. Does what you did with Gucci make you think about taking similar actions for them? I don’t even think this is about Trump. It’s about my people. It’s the simple fact that we mobilized and when everybody was saying, “My vote don’t count, my vote don’t count, why should I vote? You are not going to change anything.” They actually got a chance to see if they got here and participated and did what they are supposed to do, that we can make some progress. And we’re not saying Biden is the end-all, be-all, but for the first time in a long time, we’ve seen progress.
