Jeezy will be releasing his long awaited eighth studio album Pressure, which is set to feature guest appearances from J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Kodak Black, and Canada’s own Tory Lanez. During his appearance on Everyday Struggle, Jeezy teased that his collaboration with Tory and Rick Ross was a highlight of the listening party, and praised Tory’s hustle. Last night, Tory and Jeezy brought the song to life for a nationwide audience, performing a Rick Ross-less rendition of “Like Them” during The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
Jeezy opens up the track with a dedication to the “real ones” before diving into the lush, lavish instrumental. Tory’s vocals are solid, though the mixing is somewhat questionable; he sounds on the thin side, like his chorus was meant to resemble a sample. Perhaps that was a deliberate effect, but it still made me do a double take. Regardless, the track sounds excellent, and Jeezy’s charisma and gravitas imbue this one with some serious weight.
