In this Daily Scoop video from Drink Champs provided to you by Scoopy Benz, Jeezy aka Da Snowman, Mr 17.5 recounts how Kim Porter (R.I.P), Ebony Elektra and P Diddy helped him land on the billboard with his southern gangsta rap group Boyz N Da Hood with their street banger "Dem Boyz" which debuted at number 56 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Jeezy, who had just won Trapper Of The Year 4 Times In A Row at the time, drove around Atlanta handing out his mixtapes in his Ferrari looking for major exposure, finally got one when he got a call from Ebony Elektra to join P Diddy in studio.
Jeezy stopped by the studio packed with big names such as Jazze Pha, Trick Daddy, P Diddy.
Jody Breeze, Big Duke, Big Gee were working on "Dem Boyz".
As everyone was leaving the studio because Jeezy was "taking too long to lock up", that's when the magic happened, Jeezy went to the booth and took "an hour" to deliver a classic, a legendary verse so hot they had to let him go first on the track.
Watch Jeezy detail that story here :

TRANSCRIPTION :
taking too long to lock up
bring it back I spent
you know millions to to get on you know
what I’m saying before I’ve seen anything
so Boyz N Da Hood
God bless the dead
Kim Porter which is a sister of mine
which is Puff’s kids
mother knew the homie and her friend
Ebony which was my sister too
hit me and it was like yo you gotta come by the studio
Puff got this group
he want you to do a song
so I went and the first song I ever did
was Dem Boyz by the way
like I'm not
I'm still not a rapper
I'm still riding around in that Ferrari with half a million in the front
you know what I'm saying like I'm not a rapper
so I get in the room with these guys
and they're doing the song Dem Boyz
so I'm in here with people who like spitting bars you know what I mean
so it took me like an hour and half to just write my verse
and it took me like another hour to put it down
because I'm not so familiar with the studio
so by that time
everybody walked out
cause Trick was there
Jazze Pha was there
and everybody was there
I remember them
like you know
people in the hallway
talking shit
like man he whack
so I remember I put it down
and I walked down the hallway
told him to play it
and it was like if it's taking too long to lock up bring it back
by the time the full bar came
everybody that was outside talking shit was in the studio going crazy
