Young Jeezy Earns RIAA Gold for "Trap Or Die (Ft. Bun B)"
Trap Or Die (Ft. Bun B) earns RIAA Gold for Young Jeezy, recognizing 500,000 units on November 10, 2025.
On November 10, 2025, Young Jeezy's influential single "Trap Or Die (Ft. Bun B)" was officially certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The certification recognizes 500,000 certified units in the United States for the digital single, which was released by Island Def Jam. This marks the first RIAA award for the classic track.
Released on July 26, 2005, "Trap Or Die" was a standout track from Young Jeezy's major-label debut album, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. Featuring a guest verse from UGK co-founder and Southern rap icon Bun B, the song became a definitive anthem for the burgeoning trap subgenre. With its raw production by Shawty Redd and vivid storytelling, the track encapsulated the high-stakes reality that defined the sound and ethos Jeezy was pioneering on a mainstream level.
Jay Wayne Jenkins, known professionally as Young Jeezy (and later, Jeezy), emerged from Atlanta as one of the most crucial voices in Southern hip-hop during the mid-2000s. His debut album was a commercial and critical success, establishing him as a major force and popularizing the trap sound globally. The album's success provided a foundation for a durable career, and Jeezy continues to maintain a significant audience, including over 5.6 million followers on Instagram.
