Rapper Young Jeezy called his new album The Recession to show his pals suffering from the current economic woes that there is a way out.

While America suffers under severe economic strain, Jeezy is rolling in cash after taking the album to the top of the charts.

And he insists it can be a lesson to all that you can achieve anything, even during tough times, with hard work and ambition.

He tells Hip Hop Weekly, "I just wanted to do something for the cats that's been down with me for a long time. I wanted to give 'em some motivational music. I wanted to drop some gems, aimed at cats, so they could see I'm on top, so they can be on top as well."
