An exclusive preserved interview from The Hustlers Archive.
Recorded during a pivotal moment in trap history — right after Jeezy’s legendary “Trap or Die” mixtape and just before his major-label debut “Thug Motivation 101” — this session captures Jeezy speaking openly about his beef with Gucci Mane, the tension in the streets, and the mindset of a hustler on the edge of fame.
Narrated by DJ Vinyl Richie and originally hosted by The Homie Mad Links, this rare piece of audio gives listeners a raw look at the transition from the underground grind to global recognition.
No filters, no rewrites — just the South in its purest form.

“Aight, that’s another one from the Hustlers Lounge vault — 2018, when it all started.
But if you rockin’ with this energy, it don’t stop here.
Come pull up to the new spot — After Hours at Hustlers Lounge.
I’m there solo now, talkin’ real grown talk — no cameras, no filters, just the man behind the mic.
