Rap legend Jeezy coming to Fayetteville. Here's what to know if you're going

This year, as hip-hop celebrates 50 years of existence, popular acts from yesteryear have been selling out venues across the country and performing their greatest hits.

One such figure, Southern rap legend Jeezy, will be in Fayetteville on Saturday headlining his “Jeezy and Friends” show at the Crown Coliseum, where he will be joined by Louisiana native Webbie, rapper Trina and newcomers SleazyWorld Go and Sukihana.

Jeezy is known for his club anthems like “Go Crazy” featuring Jay-Z, “Lose My Mind” and “Put On” featuring Kanye West.

Recently, the Atlanta icon released his self-penned biography, "Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe," and his 11th studio album, “I Might Forgive … But I Don’t Forget."

The “Jeezy and Friends” concert is powered by FB Entertainment. Tickets start at $62 and are available through Ticketmaster or the Crown box office. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show begins at 8 p.m. For more information on concerts and more events from FB Entertainment, visit facebook.com/ceofbent.

Salute to FB Entertainment and every activist getting active. Peace.
