NEW YORK TIMES and WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

To Jeezy’s legion of fans, his name is synonymous with hustle, grit, and the integrity to go out there and achieve your dreams. In his first book, Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe, Jeezy shares never heard stories of what it took for him to beat the odds and get out of the streets, his mindset he carefully honed to get an edge, and the lessons that changed his life and business.

Born into poverty and raised in a small town in the middle of South Georgia’s so-called “Black belt,” Jeezy realized at an early age that nothing was going to come easy, there were no handouts headed his way, and if he ever wanted anything in life, he was going to have to get out there and get it on his own. So that’s what he did.

Now, for the first time, Jeezy retraces his steps, going back to day one to share how he turned nothing into something, stayed solid, survived the trap, and triumphed over adversity to become the successful artist, father, husband, entrepreneur, and philanthropist that he is today.

Adversity for Sale isn’t a street memoir. Like his music, these pages are filled with lessons from his deeply personal story to motivate you to go out and get after your dream.

Loved it!

It kept my attention the whole time. I’m glad Jeezy read it himself. His story was interesting!

Wish for more but this is great

I wish it was a longer listen. So much has happened into his life I just want to hear more.

Real good listen

I know he left a lot out of this book, but I’m sure that will come on the next. This was actually a really good listen and it put a lot of things in context when you listen to everything other people had to say about him and his music.

Authenticity

Great book! Loved listening to his life story and how it all started! Love to see a black man change and grow. If I had to describe this book in one word, it would be authentic from the story told to how he read it. Day one fan and still a fan. Congratulations, Jeezy.

Loved the life messages

Definitely would recommend reading! Jeezy did a good job tying a message to each chapter. This book was motivating, inspiring and a reminder of what’s important in life.
