Back in 2008, Jeezy jumped headfirst into the rough political waters, as he gave Barack Obama a huge co-sign by releasing his “My President” single.
Jeezy narrated the upcoming Jesse Washington-directed Hip-Hop & The White House House documentary. MSNBC host Ari Melber spoke to the Recession album creator about covering politics and supporting Obama’s presidential run. Jeezy’s “My President” featured New York City rap icon Nas. The collaboration became a Hip-Hop anthem during Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign for the White House. Obama defeated Arizona Senator John McCain to win the ’08 presidential race.
