A 'win is a win' to Jeezy, who earned a Guinness World Record over the weekend for the largest performing orchestra at a hip-hop concert.
The rapper was awarded during the Saturday (Nov. 1) performance of his TM:101 Live residency in Las Vegas, where he held shows at PH Live Resort & Casino. Backstage at the concert, which commemorates the 25-year anniversary of his debut album, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, Jeezy was gifted an official certificate by Guinness World Records adjudicator Andy Glass.
“This isn’t just a win for me — it’s a moment for the culture, for music, and for Vegas," stated in acceptance of the certificate, per a press release. “Thank you to every musician, every fan, and everyone who believed we could take this all the way. A winner is a dreamer who never gave up!"
Jeezy went on to thank the collective who turned TM:101 Live into a symphony, including composer Derrick Hodge, musical director Adam Blackstone, DJ Drama, DJ Ace. During his recent live concerts, Jeezy has been backed by Hodge's Color Of Noize orchestra.
After the completion of the 'Masquerade' dates of his Las Vegas residency on October 31 and November 1, TM:101 Live returns with Nutcracker-themed shows on December 19 and 21.
Over the summer, Jeezy held a nationwide tour, and for one concert in Baltimore, the rapper booked an Uber driver, Tanner, to transport him for over ten hours from Atlanta after his flight was cancelled. To thank him for being the reason he made the show in time, Jeezy brought Tanner onstage. The driver then greeted him in a pre-recorded message for Today, calling the rapper "the real legend."
