Jeezy recently explain to sources how he had to fight to get on Usher’s first single “Love in This Club”

During a recording session, Usher had just left the studio and Jeezy was in there after him. Jeezy heard “Love in This Club” and was like, “Let me get on that,” “Club” producer Polow Da Don recalled. “I was like, ‘Man, I don’t know.’ He said, ‘Just let me do the verse, dawg. If you don’t wanna keep it, cool.’ I played the version that night at Jermaine Dupri’s club, and Usher went crazy. That was the first time he heard it.

Jeezy’s album isn’t expected until the summer, and of course there’s talk of the Snowman connecting with DJ Drama for another mixtape beforehand. If you listen to Mr. 17.5 though, his next mixtape is coming way sooner than that.”[The fans] are screaming for a mixtape,” Jeezy said. “That’s all they want. We’re going in the studio and putting that together right now. We’ll have it out by the morning. Twenty-four-hour turn around.”
