Jeezy (anciennement Young Jeezy), de son vrai nom Jay Wayne Jenkins, né le 28 septembre 1977 à Columbia, en Caroline du Sud, est un rappeur américain. En 1998, il lance le label CTE World (plus tard renommé Corporate Thugz Entertainment). Hormis sa carrière solo, Jeezy est de facto leader du groupe Dirty South United Streets Dopeboyz of America (USDA), et est un ancien membre des Boyz n da Hood du label Bad Boy Records. Jeezy est également connu comme pionnier du trap, un sous-genre du hip-hop, aux côtés du rappeur T.I.. Jeezy lance sa carrière musicale en 2001, sous le nom de Lil J, avec la publication de Thuggin' Under the Influence (T.U.I.). Il se joint ensuite aux Boyz n da Hood en 2005, la même année durant laquelle son album Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. Son premier single Soul Survivor, qui fait participer Akon, atteint le top 10 des classements américains. Les albums qui succèdent, The Inspiration (2006) et The Recession (2008), contiennent également des singles à succès. Jeezy a également participé à plusieurs chansons à succès RnB comme Say I de Christina Milian, I'm So Paid d'Akon, Hard de Rihanna et Love in This Club d'Usher, cette dernière ayant atteint la première place du Billboard Hot 100, en 2008.
