Jeezy comes through with the release date for his eighth studio album.

Jeezy hasn't been dropping as much music as we'd nearly liked but that's okay. Snowman is always cooking something up and recently, has dropped off some new music to hold us over. While he's hinted at an upcoming project, he hasn't really gave us too much detail other than a few hashtags on Instagram. After dropping two singles in the same day, one with Diddy and the other with Tee Grizzley, many assumed that it meant a roll out is on the way. Today, he finally reveals the title of his eighth studio album and it's release date.

Jeezy took to Instagram today to share a trailer for his forthcoming album. The trailer graces us with a preview of new music and shows Jeezy hopping out of a Ferrari, before sharing the title of his project and his release date. His next album, Pressure, is due out just in time for the holidays on December 15th. The rapper's been hinting at the project with the hashtag #TrustYaProcessSomething that Jeezy's clearly done throughout his career with every endeavor he chooses to pursue. Pressure will be the follow up to 2016's Trap Or Die 3.

 While Jeezy preps to drop off his eighth studio album, he and T.I. have publicly spoken about plans to work on their joint album Dope Boy AcademyThe idea was floating around in 2014 and due to both their schedules, the project got put on hold. However, in two separate interviews with Billboard, they said the idea for project isn't out the window, it's just a matter of timing. So it's looking like after we get Pressure, hopefully we'll see Dope Boy Academy in 2018.

Aside from music, Jeezy's been busy with his business endeavors. The rapper announced a partnership with Nashville high-end water company, Defiance Fuel. In addition to that, he's also been focusing on his partnership with American Cut Steakhouse in Atlanta as well as his Tequila Avion. 

Now that he's back in music mode, we're excited to hear what he has to offer with his upcoming project.
