Young Jeezy is So Fly With His New Social Network

Touted as “The Official Media Source for the Hood”, Young Jeezy has launched the USDA2DAY social network. I heard about the news through my favorite news source: BallerStatus.com. The new site will serve as a source for news, new music and information pertaining to his record label CTE. The site is hosted on Ning which continues to be a center for large hip hop networks.

One of Ning’s largest networks is a fan group for 50 Cent. Social networks continue to serve as an excellent center for various fan groups. Facebook has attempted to target this audience with their Facebook Pages offering. The new Young Jeezy site has been created in order to prepare for the launch of Young Jeezy’s new album Blood Raw “My True Life Testimony”.

I’ve included one of the videos below which is bound to be a classic. While there is no title posted of the song, my guess is that it is called “My Louis Bag” since that’s all that is said throughout most of the song.
