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.
Reviews

The book was "mediocre" at best..not truthful at the least..listen..almost EVERY Black American has been through struggles and hard times..and EVERY Black person has been the target of racism..Raekwon's book was very honest..U-God's wasn't..and Jeezy's is somewhere in the middle..I know people in the Atl..and Jeezy's not telling the ENTIRE truth about at least 4 events..also??..we never get to know Jeezy as a person in this book..I mean it's a decent read?..but you never get to know him..you get to know SOME of the things that happened..and then (in my case) you get to know that he isn't being 100% honest..I wouldn't say to NOT buy this book (we all should support each other)..but I WILL say that if you want honesty?..this book might not be for you..if you want to get to know a little about WHO Jeezy is??..again..this book isn't for you..bit if you want to know how Atl was in the early 2000s?..this book MIGHT be for you..(smile)..I want to thank everyone who's read my reviews..Peace and Blessings to you and your families..

Feels like I’m listening to an interview on the breakfast club or something similar.
