Hip-Hop Since 1978, the firm that represents such rap superstars as Kanye West and Lil Wayne, will now manage all aspects of Young Jeezy’s career alongside HUSH Management.
Jeezy’s longtime manager Demetrius “Kinky B” Ellerbee expressed his excitement over the deal, where he now will be working alongside HHS1978 founders Gee Roberson and Kyambo “Hip-Hop” Joshua. “With Young Jeezy we’ve watched a legitimate movement build into an incredible brand over the past several years,” Ellerbee said in a statement. “In partnering with Gee and Hip-Hop we are hoping to continue to push his brand further than ever. I’m thrilled to have them on board.”
“Young Jeezy, along with our artists Kanye West and Lil Wayne, is at the pinnacle of this culture right now,” Roberson added. “So it’s just great synergy to be able to work with him and Kink during this exciting time in his career.”
In related news Jeezy recently teamed up with Belvedere Vodka. Through the deal Belvedere has launched a website, jeezycirculate.com, and will sponsor the Atlanta-based MC’s national tour starting this month. In conjunction with the beverage company Jeezy released his video for “Circulate” last week - the latest single from his gold selling album The Recession. –Elan Mancini

how come the first thing niggas do on here is get into an arguement about some gay shit? It don’t matter what the article be about, one of you niggas always get to talking about some nigga being a homo. or start making fag orientated jokes. And what type of nigga even say no homo? Why would you even have to specify that you didnt mean some shit in a fag way? What make you think the next nigga even thinkin’ bout the fag meaning to shit? Yall niggas tryna subliminally turn rap into some homo thuggery. Keep it straight in 09 get off that bullshit

Who decided to post this dumb shit ? No one gives a fuck about what management firm this dude is with. I don’t think that is really considered Hip-Hop news.
