After two decades, Jezzy is set to celebrate this year with a tour and album of the landmark LP featuring a symphony orchestra. "I always believed in evolution," the rapper shares. "When I came out, I was corporate thugging, you know, we got to that, it was entrepreneurship. It was always thug motivation."

"When I really figured out who I was as an individual, a lot of that had to do with my purpose and my purpose is elevating and motivating the culture, and this is nothing short of that because I feel like I'm into taking art and things and making them greater. Like how better to represent the city, represent the culture, than to take a trap album and perform it with the orchestra."
