Jeezy's "TM:101 Live" tour will feature special guest DJ Drama and run from June to September of this year across the United States.

Jeezy may be dealing with some legal trouble these days, but he has much better news to look forward to this year. According to a press email, he will embark on the "TM:101 Live" tour later this summer in the United States. This will celebrate 20 years since his classic debut album Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101.

What's particularly special about this tour is its assistance from a live symphonic orchestra, namely the Color of Noize Orchestra. DJ Drama will join as a special guest, whereas bassist and composer Derrick Hodge will conduct and arrange the orchestra. Grammy and Emmy Award winner Adam Blackstone will provide direction, production, and musical supervision.

"I’m incredibly grateful that we’re here celebrating 20 years of motivation!" Jeezy stated about his "black-tie" tour. "This album is cemented in the cultural zeitgeist that serves as the soundtrack to modern day story telling of the genre. This album had the impact it does because it was raw without hidden truth. I can’t wait for the fans to experience the album in a new way with this tour."

In addition to all this, the Georgia MC announced a 20th anniversary edition of Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. There's also new merch, partnerships, community events, engagements, a custom SiriusXM channel, men's health initiatives, and much more. The "TM:101 Live" tour started selling tickets today (Thursday, April 24) via presale. General sales begin on Friday, April 25, and you can purchase tickets here.

About The Author
Gabriel Bras Nevares is a staff writer for HotNewHipHop. He joined HNHH while completing his B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication at The George Washington University in the summer of 2022. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
