- If you've ever felt like your dreams are just too far out of reach, or you're not cut out for an extraordinary life, hold up! Get ready for a story of raw transformation, of turning the tides against all odds, from none other than a rap legend and cultural powerhouse, JAY "JEEZY" JENKINS.
Let's face it, Jeezy didn't have the red carpet rolled out for him. Growing up with the bare minimum in Georgia, dropping out in 6th grade, he's the definition of self-made. He transformed his life from the gritty streets into a blazing path in the music industry, laying the foundations of TRAP MUSIC alongside T.I. and Gucci Mane and skyrocketing to the top with DEF JAM.
Jeezy's latest masterpiece, "ADVERSITY FOR SALE: YA GOTTA BELIEVE," isn't your average success story. It’s a blueprint, a series of hard-knock life lessons, and a journey to becoming a multi-platinum artist, entrepreneur, and a man of impact.
So, what can we learn from Jeezy? Buckle up because this is where it gets real:
The street smarts that became Jeezy's armor in the wild music industry.
Inspirations from rap legends like TUPAC and MASTER P.
Why staying humble and thirsty for knowledge is your ticket to the top.
Jeezy's raw, unfiltered experiences with the law, and the hard truth of PTSD, depression, and the cost of fame.
His pivotal moments of healing and self-discovery.
The enigma of success versus personal happiness.
Staying strong when life takes away those closest to you.
Navigating life with a “MENTAL GPS.”
The role of faith and divine guidance in Jeezy's life.
Choosing ADVERSITY as his book’s theme and the reasons behind it.
Jeezy's journey is more than inspirational-it's a roadmap for anyone feeling lost.
This is REAL TALK from the streets to stardom.

The part where he got a taste of another life outside of his hometown and he said to himself “THAT’S my life and I have to get back to it”. That is powerful.
This needs to be heard by everyone. Especially when your own family think it’s all an imagination only in a dream, it gets so hard to chase. Let alone haven’t even touched or see the dream.
It really is powerful and so resonating!! I'm so glad you commented and reminded me that he said that!! Thanks. 😊 It's so, so true. This episode was bomb.. ❤️
Wow! I had no idea about this side of Jeezy. Young men and the black community need a man like this. Ty both for the great episode!
Thank you so much for the support!🙏🏽
This is the first time I've seen Jeezy and I love him! He's awesome and humble.
It’s rare that I get this emotional on a podcast. But this one hit me to the core! I grew up listening to Jeezy in my teens. And the connections of survival along with the very last minutes… the friends I’ve lost. I wish I could’ve done better reaching out! But I can do that now! Thank you Ed for allowing real people who are at high elevated level and success to come down and be there authentic selves. 💯
I was working at a club in Las Vegas and I met Jeezy, I believe in 2006. I come from a street background as well so i was a huge fan. He single handedly put me on my path to health/mental health through our conversation...He told me he stopped smoking Weed and was drinking more water, eating better and going to the gym. I was so taken back that the most reputable "street rapper" that ever lived was giving me this information. That's where my journey on health/mental health and true growth began. I am so proud of him and to have cross paths with him I am not surprised to see his growth & It is amazing to watch and still learn from. Great interview Ed & Jeezy. Much Love...
Seeing Jeezy float into his next chapter of life with such grace and perspective is nothing short of heart-warming. It isn't often we get to witness this from our favorite rappers from that era, and it makes this conversation all the more important + special.
Thank you for this interview!
Met Jeezy back in 07 at the Street Dreams tour he picked me out of a crowd of people and shook my hand what a feeling that was because that same year his album Thug Motivation 101 inspired me to hustle when I was homeless and that hustle got me in a place in 5 months, I am grateful for him and his music! Great interview Ed!
Very impressive I grew up more like Ed, and really appreciate his journey and leadership and honesty and integrity. He's a great leader
Appreciate the love!🙏🏽
Wow. This is probably one of my favorite interviews. I don’t know how as a 44 year old caucasian woman, I can relate to Jeezy Angie had me doing bumpy, thinking! Thanks to the both of you!
That was amazing!! Definitely need a part two update! Imagine him as a team member in your company that helps families!! The familes he could reach would be phenomenal!!
JEEEEEZYY! His book is crazy good💯 been a fan since I was 12 (2005). The man is a warrior and legend.
Mr. Jezzy you doing fine I hope. I. AM PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.GOD WILL TOUCH YOU AND SHOW YOU THE WAY. AMEN
Grown man right there! Very Well Spoken, Never seen this side of Jeezy, Dope interview Jizzle!💯
This is a sign of God two of my most inspirational and influential people are sitting across from each other 😮 this has to be a sign that I'm on the right path......
This interview was so powerful n uplifting. All of Jeezy interviews I Learn something Different Everytime. I Love it❤
Me too! 🎉
Great podcast! Been a big Young Jeezy fan for a long time great hear him speak about his journey! Get him back on!
This was an amazing, honest and rawest interview I’ve watched. OMG! So much knowledge, healing, growth and humility shared. Sent this to my sons to watch. This is an important message young black men need to see. Looking forward to reading Jeezy’s book. Giving it to my sons as part of their Christmas gift. Thank you JEEZY and thank you Ed for being open to do this interview! ❤
Thank you so much for the massive love and support!🙏🏽
What an interview. Amazing stuff. Thanks so much Ed and Jeezy. been listening to jeezy for almost 20 years now. I grew up listening to him. I remember when the recesion dropped in highschool. What an album and man did it relate to the crazy times we had. and i always felt like i could relate to him finding a way to make it in whatever means necessary. Jeezy the snowman! God bless and keep on keepin on!!
Fucking love you Jeezy ! The realest rapper out there to ever do it. Keep feeding them streets snowman ☃️ ❄️
Dope interview.Thank you for bringing Jeezy on, this is my first episode I’ve ever looked at. Next you should get 50cent.
Thank you for growing us
Appreciate you sharing this!
Love JEEZY! LETS GO!!!
Let’s go!💪🏽
Jeezy was a pleasure to listen to, he is a real Gentleman & Man!
Thank you Jeezy! You’ve always been like a big brother for me, I grew up without both of my parents so I learned how to take care of myself from the streets, like you did. I now own my own business, and you played a major part in my transition. You remain to be one of the only ppl on earth that I can relate to and that I’m 100% certain that you actually get it! I’m proud of you and your evolution and growth. I’m riding with you to the wheels fall off big bro ⛄️👑💯
This was an AWESOME, awesome, interview Ed! Thank you for continually bringing top-notch content! Love your book too!
J is the best man..stoked to see him on your channel. Been looking up to Jeezy since trap or die 101 been through it all myself..very happy to see the progression. Streets are waiting patiently for the next chapter of jeezy
The truth he inspired me to be a real man with no excuses 💯🔥
That's awesome bro! Keep it up! The world needs men more now than ever! Proud of your brother!!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I’ve been a fan forever. I’m proud of Jeezy too. He is motivational. Inspirational.
I love how deep both of you are. I feel 100 percent the same as the both of you about being your authentic self and to be transparent. I pray I can find myself around more people like you guys.
The streets should be part of every job hiring process! The streets ain't no slouch and damn sure ain't no joke!!!! These streets teach hard knock lessons on the daily! That should be valued way more than it is!!!! Facts! 💯 Applaud to Jeezy! Well done and very well said!!! Keep going bro! You inspire so many of us that may not be exactly like you but have seen some of the situations you've been and talked about!!! We need you bro!!! Mad love homie!!!!
Major juevos!!! 🤷🏽♂️🥚 🥚
This episode was awesome!!!
Although Jeezy and I are polar opposite people, I have never felt so connected to someone as I do him. Our lives are very parallel in so many ways, it actually made me emotional. He and I share so many qualities and characteristics and this entire interview resonates DEEP with me. Love you Ed, love you Jeezy! Fan for life.
How come this guy never spoke about his time growing up in Hawaii and Japan? Where is this guy from exactly? There’s mystery surrounding his actual background. Seeing that his father has a military background, this guy is more than likely an asset…..Assets don’t just sprout out of nowhere, they are groomed and cultivated.
So many moments and quotes that are truly inspiring. “If I don’t figure this out, this is will be my life for the rest of my life”.
I know that feeling and have changed the path I was on for sure. Destination unknown but onward and upward!
Thank you both 💙
Facts!!!! ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽
Wow!!! This is my first introduction to JEEZY and I am so grateful Ed!🙏🏻 He is inspiring on so many levels and we definitely need more men like him. He has a growth mindset and a heart for service by recognizing that he is a role model that can benefit his culture. I also have mad respect for him acknowledging the price he paid on his road to his success in connection and relationships with important people in his life by being closed off. So many people wouldn’t have the courage to admit that they could have handled that differently. Thanks JEEZY! When we know better, we can do better! So glad I have been introduced and can read your book for more learning! ❤️
Such a great podcast today, thank you both for this blessing. As a young man growing up in high school, Jeezy was such a big rap star among so many students I knew. I wasn’t one to listen to him much but I knew his songs. I always wondered what happened to him and I actually thought that not too long ago, and here he is. I’m so glad he got out of that life, he is such an intelligent man and I’m so glad he is much happier now that when he was younger. Keep it up Jezzy, much respect to you sir.
This is one of the best and most personally impactful episodes, so far! Not even close.. This dude! Jeezy!! New fan. Love you already. You're genuine, wise and humble. 💛 Both of you made me feel that rare, but familiar, "Street", real-life and wise child who figured it out!! Thank God! Someone who's honest, awesome, nice and a little dysfunctional from life, but won't quit learning life, like me! It's so rare and refreshing finding another kindred soul, like AHA! You're like me! Different walk of life, but you learned too, to figure it out, so you make it out, unlike most others who didn't get out, so we got this!! 💪Jeezy!! You have a new class pupil! This is so resonating. Bittersweet, because that's life, but the lessons and wisdom on the other side!!! I have the chaos gift/curse as well and never realized it until last year, when Ed put a name to it! I referred to it as being the one who prefers to be 'Thrown into the lions den!' to learn new life skills, instead of the normal, comfortable easing into something and staying put that works for most and that's fine! That's just never been me and it's so weird, but makes so much sense now that I'm an Entrepreneur lol and thriving in that chaos is truly a craft/power when you need to use it, FOR SURE. It separates you on a different level, if you're blessed to get through it, truly and your brain just makes you see, frame and therefore, walk different paths than most. Lonlier and it makes generic social convos harder for an extended period of time, but I digress. 🤣 You see the world differently and in some of it's worst forms, but that's KNOWLEDGE and you figured it out to this point! Plus, so much more that builds that truly unique depth in the human psyche! Knowledge is THE power. Love you both!! Thank you!! 🔥❤️🙏🏻 #MAXOUT #ONEMORE #HUMBLE
Another great podcast Ed 💯✨️
Thank you for sharing, such vulnerability, raw truthfulness, it takes a lot of courage to be able to share your authenticity. There will be some with an unforgiving opinion or little compassion and that’s ok. That’s a reflection within themselves…. all I can say is thank you for sharing JEEZY and thank you Mylett for allowing this man a sacred space to speak his truth. ❤ #tearitup MY JAM 😅
This interview is wholesome, rich in content, and absolutely valuable. It crosses cultural lines and boundaries to drive relatable emotions through different experiences within the life, trials, and tribulations of Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins! Well done!
Thanks for another excellent episode 🙌
Wow Ed, absolutely amazing. Thank you for bringing the most thought provoking content. I loved this episode and found new inspiration in the process ❤
Loved this podcast Ed. You are one podcaster that can bring a tear to my eye. I don’t even know why. But your love and sincerity for your guests is beyond. God Bless you 🙏
So inspiring. So great to listen to this conversation 🙏🏾❤️
So amazing thank you Ed and Jeezy🙏
Great interview!
SERENDIPITOUS ! 6 years ago TODAY I was shot in my chest 2 inches from my heart ( illegal dealer ) . When I left the hospital I had a new relationship with young Jeezy and his song “ Soul Survivor”.
I’ve always believed in the universe and energy. I’ve changed and dedicated myself to helping my people avoid recreating my past in their future. I am the 1st for my Family, “The Power of One More “ goes with me in my life and I actively discuss it with others.
Ed, I’ve followed you for some time , your level of belief that you express and the intensity , the energy you bring to your content has CONSISTENTLY given me permission to overcome my previous self and be the 1 for my Family.
When we meet , I will bring an audience! - all this and I haven’t even listened to the content yet!!
This is SERENDIPITOUS indeed!!!
Thank you Ed!
I am excited to listen to this one! Thanks again Ed Mylett
