On July 26, the exact anniversary of his groundbreaking debut, Jeezy will release TM:101 Live — A Symphonic Reimagining of Hip-Hop History—a powerful, poetic, and polished rework of his genre-defining album. The reissue promises to be a cinematic, soul-stirring celebration of trap music’s legacy, complete with a full orchestra.

According to an official press release, Jeezy teamed up with GRAMMY and EMMY-winning musical director Adam Blackstone and acclaimed composer Derrick Hodge to reimagine his street anthems alongside the Color of Noize Orchestra.
Classics like “Soul Survivor”, “Go Crazy”, “My Hood,” and Trap or Die have been transformed into lush, layered orchestral compositions that still pack every ounce of their original grit, just dressed in grandeur. Now, TM:101 Live serves as living proof that trap music was always symphonic; it just needed a conductor like Jeezy to bring it to life in a new dimension.

“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!” said Jeezy in an official statement about the album. “Thank you to those who never stop believing!”

And for the vinyl heads, Jeezy is announcing that TM:101 Live will drop on two exclusive pressings: a limited edition orange vinyl (just 300 copies via Fat Beats) and a purple version available at Urban Outfitters. The album will also hit all major streaming platforms.
In addition to the album, Jeezy is continuing to bring Black-tie elegance to Hip-Hop, turning concert halls into sanctuaries of street symphonies with his Jeezy’s TM:101 Live tour, a black-tie symphonic experience that has been moving audiences from Miami to Detroit.
 

A press release reports that most dates have sold out, which serves as a testament to the hunger for real hip-hop, presented with the reverence it has always deserved.
 

“20 years of victories, struggles, and growth—every setback was worth it,” said Jeezy about TM: 101 Live. “If I could talk to my younger self in ’05, I’d say: ‘They might hear you in ’05, but in 2025, they gon’ feel you!’ You’re doing God’s work! Keep going!”

Pusha T and (No) Malice have proven that there’s no aging out of making a rap classic as their new album Let God Sort Em Out has hip hop fans giving them a standing ovation.

After a delay caused by tensions with Def Jam—hence the changing of their moniker from “The Clipse” to simply “Clipse”—the Brothers Thornton have reunited for their first offering in 16 years as a group. The pair took a traditional route to their album release by doing an actual rollout, including visuals, merchandise, an album signing, and interviews with several publications, culminating in a Tiny Desk concert where they performed some of their biggest hits.

At 48 and 52 years old, respectively, Pusha and Malice are shutting down any ideas of rap being solely a young man’s game, and we’re here for it. Their lyrical prowess, though seasoned, is still as lethal as ever, and their caviar dope-dealing bars are just as IG-ready as their younger hip hop peers. Plus, they tapped their fellow Virginia-native Pharrell Williams for nostalgia’s sake, making the album’s sonic footprint the dream of millennial music fans everywhere.

Describing the album as “sophisticated urgency,” Pusha T has leaned into the irony of two of the genre’s elder statesmen being able to deliver one of the most anticipated and positively reviewed projects in recent years.

“A perspective on life and how we view it,” he explained in an interview with Jerry Lorenzo for Spotify. “A perspective of the game, music, and how we feel about it. Also, just the idea of what hip hop means to us and the sense of like, this is a competitive game and we actually live it. We always try to showcase that being fundamentalist, with the word and showing that this is timeless. What we do is timeless.”

Clipse Confronts Losing Their Parents On Their Opening Track, “Birds Don’t Sing”

Let God Sort Em Out also showcases featured verses from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Tyler The Creator, Nas, and Stove God, along with an appearance by John Legend, whose vocals are on display on the emotional opening track of the album. “The Birds Don’t Sing” chronicles the brothers’ feelings following the deaths of their parents less than 4 months apart, and sets the tone for the project’s transparency.

“We had to get that out of the way because it just had to be done,” Malice said of the track during a sit-down on the Joe Budden Podcast. “You always think, as far as death, it’s going to happen to somebody else, it’s going to happen at some far off abstract time, not in your family or whatever. With my parents passing within four months of each other, it wasn’t just like once. Once it happens once, you think it’s going to be another long time [before it happens again] but it was like back to back.”

Pusha T Doesn’t Hold Back On Kanye, Who Says He Misses Their Friendship

Pusha T has relished in the opportunity to be doing all things music with his brother again after going at it solo, primarily with Kanye West‘s Good Music. As always, he’s never one to mince words when talking about his experiences or feelings about fellow artists, including his former friend and collaborator, West.

“I feel like me and Ye, we don’t gel,” he said. “Where I am right now in my life, I’m not with anybody who ain’t on my team — especially when I’ve been on your team. He champions and stands next to anybody and everybody who don’t f**k with me. And I don’t get that. I don’t understand that.”

He gave more insight into why the two parted ways in a GQ interview saying,

“He’s a genius. But that’s why me and him don’t get along, because he sees through my fakeness with him. He knows I don’t think he’s a man. He’s shown me the weakest sides of him, and he knows how I think of weak people.”

Pusha’s candor didn’t deter Kanye from taking to the internet to let people know that he “misses” their friendship, to which the “Ace Trumpets” rapper responded, “I don’t care about that at all. I’m sure, I would miss me too.”

Oop. Well, we will be busy listening to the Clipse’s new album on repeat for the foreseeable future.

Justin Bieber is “standing on business” with Swag, his seventh studio album that dropped on Friday. Some familiar voices are featured on the project, but one surprise contributor has left fans doing a double take.

The 21-track album features high-profile collaborations with Sexyy Red, Lil B, Cash Cobain, Eddie Benjamin, Gunna, Dijon and Marvin Winans. Bieber co-produced the record with Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, Daniel Caesar, Dijon, mk.gee, Daniel Chetrit, Knox Fortune and others.

One guest feature, comedian and influencer Druski, emerged in three interludes with the Canadian-born singer: “Soulful,” Therapy Session” and “Standing on Business.”

In “Standing on Business,” Bieber addresses his now-viral paparazzi incident outside Soho House in Los Angeles on June 13. “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business,” the 31-year-old said at the time. The moment quickly circulated on social media, and the pair discussed it on the track.
