Jeezy will return to Sin City this summer for an all-new black tie experience that celebrates his iconic catalog.
On Thursday, March 19, the Atlanta native appeared at the Vibes & Views event series, hosted by PopViewers founder and CEO Chris Witherspoon, in New York City, where he announced the plans for his second Las Vegas residency, "Legend of the Snowman." The 10-night event will go down at PH Live inside Planet Hollywood beginning on May 1. Jeezy's next residency will be another black-tie affair. However, instead of focusing on his major label debut album, this show will celebrate all of his memorable hits.
"This is the 'Legend of the Snowman,'" Jeezy tells Loren LoRosa of The Breakfast Club. "This is, like, everything. This is the story. This is the whole, front to back, the adversity, the ups, the downs, the lefts, the rights. This is telling the story of anybody who's been riding with me for these last two decades. This is different."
Jeezy says he's been planning out a show like this over the past five years. He began touring with producers Adam Blackstone, Derrick Hodges, and the Color of Noize orchestra last year for his "TM: 101 20th Anniversary Show." The CTE co-founder traveled to major cities across the country, performing songs from his album Thug Motivation 101: Let's Get It with DJ Drama. Jeezy said the tour made history, especially after it earned the Guinness World Record for having the largest orchestra at a rap concert.
"This is me betting on myself more because I took it upon myself not to go anywhere this year for anything but to Vegas," Jeezy explains. "Meaning there ain't no tours. All roads lead to Vegas and just putting my all into this production, all into this team, all into the vision of what this is going to be and how it's going to play out."
Tickets for Jeezy's "Legend of the Snowman" are on sale now. Watch the entire interview below.
