Where this album fits
- In the catalog
- Deep Cut — Solid entry that showcases Jeezy's style but isn't widely recognized as a standout.
- Career context
- Released on January 1, 2012, It's tha World marked Jeezy's sixth studio album and followed his 2009 project, The Recession. At this point in his career, Jeezy was solidifying his status as a significant voice in Southern hip-hop after years of successful releases and collaborations.
