Cold Summer is a certified street banger from top to bottom, featuring production work from CTE’s stable of up-and-coming producers like Tony Rey, Arnaz "The Nazty One" Smith, Midnight Black and T.A. “I wanted to do it mixtape-style 'cause I wanted it to be something for the streets,� explains Jeezy. “ It's a street album, just raw." USDA – Jeezy, ATL spitter Slick Pulla and Panama City’s Blood Raw – are featured on the cover of the June issue of street bible XXL Magazine.

It’s an exciting time for Young Jeezy: he has just launched his Rocawear-distributed clothing line, Eighty Seven Thirty Two (8732). His sophomore album The Inspiration has pushed past platinum status and is out-selling nearly every rap album on the charts. The smash second single “Go Getta� (featuring R. Kelly) hit #1 on BET’s 106 & Park, Big 10 on MTV, and broke the Top 5 at urban radio. The Inspiration’s third single, “Dreamin’� featuring Keyshia Cole, has impacted at radio and the Chris Robinson-directed video has been added at BET and MTV.

“Dreamin� is a heartfelt testament of his troubled past and talks about Jeezy’s ambition to survive the perils of living in a tough neighborhood. As the self-anointed “Soul Survivor,� Jeezy realizes that many others have faced similar turmoil. Reflecting on his past, he will utilize the success from this album to help others overcome their hardships.
