Released in 1994, Jezreel – Sick And Tired Of Been Broke is the second solo album from Jezreel, a rapper originally from Chicago who relocated to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Released through Rite Chus Records, the album is a strong example of early Dirty South gangsta rap, combining Southern production, street-focused storytelling, heavy grooves, and Jezreel's distinctive delivery. Contemporary catalog information describes the record as one of the standout releases from the Dirty South scene.The 13-track album opens with “Intro” and includes “Sick And Tired Of Be'en Broke,” “Let A Brother Come Up,” “Life As A Hard Head ('95 Remix),” “So Many Tears,” “Thankz 4 Da Fiendz,” “Make'n Endz,” “The Camp,” “Getto Azz Nigga,” “What The Fuck Is Wrong,” “Da Gettoz Got Me Guessen,” “Mi-9,” and “Juveniles.”Musically, Jezreel – Sick And Tired Of Been Broke reflects the raw independent character of mid-1990s Southern hip-hop. The production was provided by Walt Swift, whose beats give the album a hard, bass-heavy foundation for Jezreel's street narratives and personal perspective.Jezreel's background gives the project an interesting regional identity. Although originally from Chicago, he established himself in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, becoming associated with the local T-Town rap scene. His career also included collaborations with Rite Chus and Phuntane, and he later formed the duo Real & Tane, releasing South Bound in 1999.The album's themes revolve around poverty, survival, street life, ambition, and the struggle to improve one's circumstances. Songs such as “Let A Brother Come Up,” “So Many Tears,” “Make'n Endz,” and “Getto Azz Nigga” give the record a distinctly Southern underground perspective.Today, Jezreel – Sick And Tired Of Been Broke remains an obscure but highly regarded Alabama Dirty South release from the 1990s. Its Tuscaloosa roots, gritty production, gangsta-rap atmosphere, and independent character make it a worthwhile discovery for collectors exploring classic Southern hip-hop.
