Jeezy gave his new release date and confirmed Samuel L. Jackson is narrating the DVD that will be released with it. All that’s coo but check this… I’m getting in the next conference call by any major artist.
Young Jeezy – Def Jam Conference Call (10.20.11)
You can call it a wrap for all labels if G.O.O.D. Music actually puts together an album. Yeah I know… I said that for shock value but the album will definitely be dope and will probably arrive this time next year (quote me).
Below is a Def Jam press release from this summer that gives foundation to Yeezy’s tweet.
KANYE WEST’s G.O.O.D. MUSIC LABEL SIGNED TO EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE LABEL AGREEMENT WITH ISLAND DEF JAM MUSIC GROUP
BIG SEAN’s OFFICIAL DEBUT ALBUM, FINALLY FAMOUS, IS FIRST NEW RELEASE ON G.O.O.D. MUSIC – CONTAINING HIT SINGLE “MY LAST” FEATURING CHRIS BROWN
(June 27, 2011 – New York, NY) 14-time Grammy-winner (and 30-time Grammy nominee) Kanye West’s independent record label G.O.O.D. Music, has been signed to an exclusive long-term worldwide label agreement with the Island Def Jam Music Group (IDJMG). The announcement was made today by Kanye West, Barry Weiss, Chairman & CEO of Universal Motown Republic Group (UMRG) and Island Def Jam Music Group (IDJMG) and Steve Bartels, President & COO, Island Def Jam Music Group.
The first release under terms of the new agreement will be FINALLY FAMOUS, the official debut by Detroit rapper Big Sean, arriving in stores June 28th. The album, executive produced by Kanye West, has already spun off G.O.O.D.’s first bonafide hit single, “My Last” featuring Chris Brown. The track is #1 on the Billboard Rap Songs chart, and #4 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
A protégé of Kanye West, 22-year old Big Sean (Sean Anderson) was signed when he was still a teenager. Big Sean is now the flagship artist on the G.O.O.D. Music roster. Kanye West will continue to serve as a core recording artist at Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam Recordings.
“G.O.O.D. Music is an exciting new chapter in the long and successful association of Kanye West and Island Def Jam,” said Mr. Weiss. “As a recording artist and a producer over the past eight years, there is no one who has made a greater impression on the game than Kanye. We look forward to working closely with the new and established artists that he will be bringing to G.O.O.D. Music, which is already off to an impressive start with Big Sean.”
“Kanye’s genius has been proven time and time again on records and onstage,” said Mr. Bartels. “He not only pours it out for himself, but he has made the difference with his presence on innumerable projects with other artists who are indebted to him. Kanye is an integral core member of the IDJ family, and G.O.O.D. Music continues his unselfish tradition of bringing along great new artists to the forefront.”
Kanye West is a cornerstone artist on the Def Jam roster. His combined albums and singles have sold in excess of 20 million copies worldwide, starting with his RIAA double-platinum debut of 2004, The College Dropout, and triple-platinum follow-up of 2005, Late Registration. The two albums spun off multiple hit singles, and generated five Grammy Awards, including consecutive wins for Best Rap Album of 2004 and 2005, as well as Best Rap Song (songwriters’ award) of 2004 (“Jesus Walks”) and 2005 (“Diamonds From Sierra Leone”), and Best Rap Solo Performance for 2005 (“Gold Digger”). Kanye’s next album, Graduation generated another three Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Song for 2007 (“Good Life”), and (in 2008) Best Rap Album and Best Rap Solo Performance (“Stronger”). 808’s & Heartbreak (2008) was Kanye’s fourth consecutive RIAA multi-platinum-selling album. It was followed by My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), his fifth consecutive #1 Soundscan debut, named the best album of the year by a majority of critics in the U.S. and UK. In addition to his own records, Kanye West has been featured as a guest on countless tracks over the years, and has shared in at least six Grammy Awards for his work with other artists.
You’re probably thinking the same thing I was when I first seen this. Drizzy got the Jeezy treatment! After reading his explanation you’ll understand it’s nothing close to Jeezy’s situation. Read what Drake put on his blog below.
The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it. The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together. Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools. New dates will be released in the next week…see you all soon.

TAKE CARE NOVEMBER 15
Despite some connection problems, Ross goes over his vision for God Forgives, I Don’t and speaks on the songs he let go earlier this week. As a blogger, I really appreciate these calls and hopefully we’ll get in on the next one. Album drops December 13th. By the way, that picture up top is DOPE!

Rihanna released that the name of her upcoming album slated to be released on Nov. 21th will be named Talk That Talk. “We Found Love” is the lead single from the album produced by Calvin Harris. Below are pictures from Rihanna’s spread in British Vouge.
Damn. He handled that situation like a G but that would be tough knowing the leak has reached thousands of people already (most who probably won’t buy it now).
“I don’t know how the fuck they got this shit, but this shit is real my nigga. This shit is incredible for me to see right now. This a nigga album. I don’t even have this, nigga. I don’t know how you got this.”
Feels like it’s been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us? Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24…I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
See you soon.

For anyone that feels like they can’t wait. Listen to the album snippets here.
After rumors of TM103 being pushed back, Jeezy finally gives us some hope that his album WILL come out on it’s scheduled date.

So it looks like the Snowman has been pushed back once again. Neither of his singles have caught fire yet and he hasn’t released anything (tracklisting, artwork, etc.) related to the album. I personally feel like he could have dropped last summer if they would’ve pushed “Lose My Mind”. Last night it was rumored his album was pushed back when MMG’s twitter posted this:
If you’ve been wondering why you haven’t seen the cover art or tracklisting for Young Jeezy’s TM 103, there’s a good reason. The Atlanta rapper’s album has been pushed back once again.
The Snowman’s long-delayed LP TM 103: Hustlerz Ambition will no longer be dropping on September 20. The push-back is the latest in a series of delays that began in 2009. So far, the album has spawned the singles “Ballin’” featuring Lil Wayne and “Shake Life.” A new date has not been announced.
Jeezy, who just came off a nationwide tour, originally announced the September 20 date at his six-year anniversary show in New York in July. He later explained the reason behind the delay.
“I’ma keep it real. At the time, you know I had to go live life,” he previously told Hot 93.7’s Jenny Boom Boom. “I was on two big tours [with Lil Wayne and Jay-Z], so I was just doing a lot of rapper things. I get my music from the streets and livin’—and I didn’t live. I didn’t do Jeezy. I was doing Young Jeezy, the rapper, but I wasn’t doing Jeezy. So I went back home and kinda just got out and started moving around. It just all came together.”
To tide fans over, Jeezy recently released his mixtape The Real Is Back 2 featuring Birdman, Freddie Gibbs, and Yo Gotti.
