Congratulations to Young Jeezy on new position! 

Call this true "Corporate Thuggin!" Young Jeezy announced on his Twitter... “From the streets to the Boardroom. SVP of A&R at Atlantic Records I am. Let’s Get it!” wrote Jeezy. “Corporate thuggin to the max!” You ready right! He is the new Senior Vice-President of A&R at Atlantic Records!

In his new role, the 34-year-old MC will sign and develop new talent and work with the label’s current roster. He has his own label Corporate Thugz Entertainment (CTE), which includes Freddie Gibbs, Slick Pulla, and his group USDA.

Jeezy is currently signed to Def Jam, where he has released four solo albums. His latest, Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition, debuted at No. 3 in December 2011.

He’s not the first artist to take on an executive role. His mentor Jay-Z held the position of President at Def Jam for three years, while his “Leave You Alone” collaborator Ne-Yo currently is the SVP of A&R at Motown Records.
