Jeezy has been busy lately. On Monday (Oct. 30), the Snowman announced that he has departed his longtime Def Jam recording home, but is nevertheless dropping a new double album on Friday, November 3.
The new project from the Atlanta rapper is called I Might Forgive…But I Don’t Forget and is being released via his own label, CTE New World, and in partnership with Stem Distribution. Jeezy’s entire solo career (on a major label) up until now has been with Def Jam, beginning with his critically acclaimed 2005 debut Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 and concluding with 2020’s The Recession 2.
For his thirteen album, the I Might Forgive… portion of the project will feature production from ATL Jacob, Ricky Polo, Cubeatz, Hendrix and more. However, the But I Don’t Forget side is wholly produced by The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, who are longtime collaborators with the Snowman and have also crafted beats for the likes of Rick Ross, Mary J. Blige and Drake.
Jeezy has been busy lately. In August he dropped his memoir, Adversity For Sale, where he detailed using therapy to deal all the struggle he’s had in his life. Most recently, he filed for divorce from his wife Jeannie Mai after two years of marraige.
“The decision to end this chapter in my life was not made impulsively and comes with a heavy heart,” said Jeezy in a statement. “Despite this, my love and respect for Jeannie remains and the time we spent together holds a cherished place in my heart.”
The topic, and more, will surely permeate his new music.
