On a new episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Detroit rapper Peezy sat down with hosts Gillie and Wallo for a wide-ranging conversation that blended music, money, and lessons learned from the streets. Pulling up in style with luxury cars, fresh kicks, and Goyard bags, Peezy made it clear he’s enjoying the fruits of rap success while keeping his authenticity intact.
The timing couldn’t be better: his highly anticipated new album Still Ghetto is set to drop September 26 across all streaming platforms, with the lead single “So Ghetto” already making noise.
Despite now living in a Houston mansion within a gated community, Peezy insists he hasn’t lost touch with where he came from. “Still ghetto,” he explained, isn’t about surroundings but about character, staying grounded, respecting others, and remembering his roots. For Peezy, the project reflects resilience, loyalty, and a love for the streets that shaped him.
The album, recorded primarily in his $3,500 home studio, features heavyweight collaborations with Rick Ross, French Montana, G Herbo, Babyface Ray, and more.
Rather than signing with a major label, Peezy has doubled down on independence with Empire Records. He credited his longtime partnership with Ghazi and the Empire team for helping him build a sustainable career, emphasizing that relationships outweigh quick money grabs.
By patiently building his catalog, Peezy positioned himself for longevity when his hit records began to land.
Peezy spoke candidly about his financial evolution, admitting that he once had a million dollars in cash but no credit, leaving him unable to buy a house. It took two years working with his accountant, Amber, to build credit, manage assets properly, and secure lasting financial stability.
Coming from a background where financial literacy was rarely taught, Peezy now sees it as essential knowledge he hopes more young people will embrace.
The conversation also turned toward the realities of incarceration. Peezy and the hosts traded stories about the monotonous grind of prison life, days blurring together, separation from family, and the damage done to entire communities.
He urged young listeners to avoid street life altogether, highlighting how easily it leads to cycles of prison and pain.
Peezy revealed his passion for art, showing off works from Dapper Bruce, an artist collected by names like Jay-Z and LeBron James. He also has an extensive sneaker collection, which led him to propose a “Detroit Challenge”: encouraging local artists to donate shoes to kids who need them.
It’s another way Peezy hopes to turn success into something bigger than himself, reinforcing his message of authenticity and giving back.
At its core, Peezy’s appearance on Million Dollaz Worth of Game underscored his evolution from street survival to rap stardom, without losing the mindset of someone “still ghetto.” From financial discipline to independence in the industry, he continues to use his platform not just to celebrate success but to teach, motivate, and inspire.
With Still Ghetto on the horizon and a track record of staying true to himself, Peezy’s message is clear: success means nothing if you forget where you came from.
