Don Cannon is BACK with another one! This time hes sitting with well anticipated legendary south producer Drumma Boy! Todays' episode were discussing the creation of "Put On" and the long lasted impact this song has done.

"Put On" by Young Jeezy, featuring Kanye West, is an anthem of pride and resilience from Jeezy's 2008 album The Recession. Produced by Drumma Boy, its booming bass and synth-heavy beat underscore Jeezy’s declaration of loyalty to his Atlanta roots and the struggles of representing his community. Kanye West’s auto-tuned verse adds a reflective contrast, exploring themes of personal loss and isolation amidst success.

The track achieved commercial and critical success, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a Grammy nomination. A symbol of perseverance during the 2008 economic downturn, "Put On" solidified Jeezy's role as a voice for the streets while connecting with listeners navigating hardship, making it a hip-hop classic.
