Jeezy Cites The One Reason He Was Able To Stay Calm During His Heated ‘Verzuz’ Battle With Gucci Mane
‘I wasn’t going to let anyone, including myself, drag me back 20 years.’ …
Jeezy and Gucci Mane made the internet roil on Thursday night when they faced off for a heated Verzuz battle. After years of bad blood and diss tracks, the two rappers and Atlanta cultural icons managed to achieve some semblance of peace by closing out the night performing their joint track, “So Icy.” Of course, that doesn’t mean all the tension is de-escalated forever, but a lot of the reason why things stayed calm during the face off was due to the demeanor of Jeezy.
In a lengthy interview with Boy Boy TV, he spoke to just that — citing one person who really helped him keep things composed that night. ” “I just felt like I wasn’t gonna lose my cool — I wasn’t going to let anyone, including myself, drag me back 20 years,” he said, commenting on Verzuz around 22 minutes. “I worked so hard to get in a place where things are good for me. I got multiple things going on, I employ a lot of people, and everybody depend on me. Matter of fact, I got a daughter that I love very much. I gotta make it back home to her.”
Continuing on: “I’m not putting myself in no position to prove no point to nobody that I’m real. I been real. … It’s solid, ain’t nothin’ ever going to change that. I don’t have anything to prove. The only thing that I gotta prove to myself is I wanna be better than I was yesterday. That would have been an L for me to walk out of there and be like, ‘Yo, I just really lost my composure out in the world because somebody was playing with me like we in the sixth grade.’”
His priorities have clearly shifted over the years, and it’s definitely for the better. Watch the whole interview above.
Gucci Mane is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

The trapheaux gracefully glides over in new release “Marble Floors”
Trapheauxly’s latest release, “Marble Floors,” is a smooth, seductive single that combines clean, complex rap verses with melodic R&B. The song’s production, soulful vocal harmonies, and steady rhythmic pulse create a luxurious yet emotionally grounded atmosphere. All of these elements work together to create this atmosphere.
The most impressive aspect of it is the way it shifts from a catchy melodic hook to a rapid-fire delivery of the lyrics. One moment, “Marble Floors” is silky smooth, and the next, it is razor sharp. This contrast is what gives the musical its identity.
When it comes to lyrical concerns of intimacy, devotion, and elevated aesthetics, the image of marble floors appears, time and time again, as a symbol of elegance and emotional weight. Trapheauxly is a polished package that combines style, substance, and value that cannot be denied in terms of replay value.

NIHLNØTHING unleashes increased tides on new release “ocean” Power
NIHLNØTHING’s latest release, “Ocean” is a powerful, immersive single that defies classification as heavy music. The track sounds huge, punishing, and emotionally complex, as the title promises, drawing on post-metal, alternative metal, sludge, groove metal, metalcore, and deathcore.
A sense of depth makes “ocean” appealing. The song balances atmosphere and intensity like a violent current under calm waters. This track has towering sonic weight and textured melodic darkness, suggesting it can go from hypnotic tension to explosive release in a heartbeat.
Genre DNA enables NIHLNØTHING to create something expansive. It has sludge, groove, metalcore urgency, and a post-metal mood that’s probably more than aggression. NIHLNØTHING excels in contrasting crushing weight with atmosphere, chaos with control, and brutality with reflection. Balance distinguishes loud from powerful music.
