Jeezy is following in some major footsteps after Scarface’s highly-acclaimed Tiny Desk Concert in December.
The week prior to its release, NPR’s Carter tweeted, “I just watched an edit of Scarface’s Tiny Desk. Yeah…. it’s the best hip-hop tiny desk we’ve ever put out. A new crown holder…. Monday.”

The day after it was released, it received high praise from none other than Q-Tip.
The legendary Tribe Called Quest frontman took to Twitter/X on Tuesday (December 19) to praise Face, sharing a link to the concert and adding: “@BrotherMob we needed this.”

Since launching the series in 2008, NPR has hosted hundreds of Tiny Desk Concerts which see performers put on intimate mini-concerts from inside the organization’s offices.
Some of the most notable Hip Hop appearances on the show have come from Mac Miller, Anderson .Paak and Tyler, The Creator – and hopefully Jeezy will soon be in that conversation.

In other news, 21 Savage recently revealed that as a young Hip Hop fan, he took the Gucci Mane and Jeezy beef extremely seriously — and wasn’t shy about taking sides.
During an interview with Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast that was posted last Wednesday (January 24), 21 looked back on his early rap fandom. He explained that during the long-running feud between the two Atlanta rappers, he took Gucci’s side.

“I’m gonna keep it real: growing up on the East Side, Gucci made me hate Young Jeezy as a child,” the “a lot” rapper explained.
He went on to say that Gucci’s frequent shouting out of Atlanta’s East Side, where Savage grew up after moving to the U.S. from the UK as a child, made the “Lemonade” spitter a folk hero in that neighborhood.

“Gucci had a big impact. Gucci was the one. And he put [the East Side] on the map,” Savage said. “I used to really be like, ‘Man, fuck Jeezy! I’m from the East Side, n-gga!’”
Gucci and Jeezy had a serious feud that began in 2005 over who had the rights to their collaboration “Icy.” Later that year, Gucci was charged with the murder of one of Jeezy’s associates. Gucci said he acted in self-defense, and the charges were dropped in January 2006.

The years-long battle culminated in a Verzuz in November 2020. Despite tense moments, the two men were able to shake hands as the battle concluded with Gucci saying, “No disrespect. It’s all love.”
