Young Jeezy Thug Motivation 103

His third album, The Recession, was released in 2008. "Put On" featuring Kanye West was the lead single, which also led to a Grammy Nomination for Best Rap performance by a duo, but it came short. Put On was followed by "Vacation", "Crazy World", "My President" with Nas, and "Who Dat" to complete the Recession’s singles. Jeezy appeared on the R&B singles "Love in this Club" by Usher and "I’m So Paid" by Akon (also with Lil Wayne). "Love in this Club" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Later, he performed on Ciara’s single "Never Ever", from her album Fantasy Ride.

In the summer of 2008, Jeezy was at the center of a controversy over his choice for president. While he had previously endorsed Barack Obama, he spoke about meeting and supporting John McCain during an interview with Vibe magazine. The statement caused a stir, and Jeezy quickly clarified his choice, via a viral video. In the four-minute explanation, Jeezy made it clear, Obama was his main choice. "I represent the Democratic party. ... I’ve never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter", the rapper said. "I support Barack Obama."

Jeezy and Jay-Z performed in a concert to celebrate the inauguration of President Barack Obama on January 18, 2009.

On The O’Reilly Factor, commentator Bill O’Reilly criticized their performance as a "rant that offended people", but Jeezy responded: "I got white friends. It’s nothing like that. I’m a taxpayer, I got a right to voice my opinion at any point in time. I don’t think he really understands my struggle."

Jeezy is working on Thug Motivation 103, his latest LP, as of November 2009. In March 2010, Jeezy dropped "Young" from his stage name.

But in April 2010, Jeezy denied name change and it was just a rumour. "All White Everything" is set to be the first official single released from the album. Another notable single on Young Jeezy’s upcoming album is "Lose My Mind" featuring Plies.
