TM:101 Live Is Jeezy’s Love Letter to the Streets With Strings Attached
Twenty years ago, Jeezy changed the game with Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101. Now, he’s changing the soundscape of hip-hop all over again with TM:101 Live, a symphonic, soul-stirring reimagining of his classic debut album.
Dropping on July 26, the exact 20th anniversary of the original release, TM:101 Live isn’t just a celebration.
It’s a statement. It’s trap music with a tux on. It’s a cultural reset.
And most importantly, it’s Jeezy proving that the music born in the streets belongs on the grandest stages.
The Symphony Behind The Streets
To bring this vision to life, Jeezy partnered with Grammy and Emmy Award-winning musical director Adam Blackstone and composer Derrick Hodge.
The duo enlisted the talents of the Color of Noize Orchestra to turn anthems like:
- “Soul Survivor”
- “Go Crazy”
- “My Hood”
- “Trap or Die”
into emotionally layered, orchestral powerhouses.
In Jeezy’s words: “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!”

Collectors, don’t miss out. TM:101 Live is being pressed in two limited edition vinyls:
- Orange pressing (300 copies only) – Available at #FatBeats

Of course, it will also be available across all major streaming platforms, ready to soundtrack your evolution just like it did in 2005.

Legacy Beyond Charts

It featured massive hits like:
- “Soul Survivor” (triple platinum with Akon)
- “Go Crazy” (featuring JAY-Z)
But it wasn’t just the numbers.
The album became the anthem for anyone grinding toward a better future.
Jeezy turned the pain of the streets into purpose—and now, into poetry with a live orchestra.
“They might hear you in ’05, but in 2025, they gon’ feel you!”
