With its raw lyrics and streetsmart storytelling, the album not only went on to become a multiplatinum hit but also cemented Jeezys place as one of the defining voices of Southern hiphop. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Rap and RB charts and included some of Jeezys most memorable tracks, such as the tripleplatinum hit Soul Survivor featuring Akon, and Go Crazy featuring JayZ.
