Terius Gray is better known by his stage name, Juvenile, and is an American hip-hop rapper from New Orleans, Lousiana.

Born on 25 March 1975, Juvenile first started rapping in the early 1990s. After signing with Warlock records in 1995, he released his debut album entitled “Being Myself.” Unfortunately, the album did not gain much national attention and did not chart, but did fairly well on a local level. However, it did bring more attention to labels, and as a result, Juvenile signed to Cash Money Records and released “Solja Rags” in 1997. Although the album saw some national success having made it onto the Billboard Hot R&B/ Hip-Hop Songs Chart, it saw most of its success with local rap audiences. Also in 1997, Juvenile joined the Hot Boys with fellow Cash Money rappers B.G., Turk, and Lil Wayne and together they released their debut album “Get It How U Live!”

Juvenile released his third solo album entitled “400 Degreez” in 1998 and it became his breakout album, having had the opportunity for a bigger market due to Cash Money Records gaining a joint distribution with Universal Records. Keeping up with the success of “400 Degreez,” he released “Tha G-Code” in 1999 and “Project English “ in 2001, both of which ended up becoming double certified platinum.

In 2005 Juvenile signed a new deal with Atlantic Records and released “Reality Check” in 2006. The album, which had debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, went on to become certified gold. By 2012 Juvenile released his tenth album, “Rejuvenation” which featured the single "Power" featuring Rick Ross. Juvenile collaborated with Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, and Drake.

Live reviews

I was head bumping in my baby crib, listening to Juvenile now i'm body popping to Juvenile 15+ years later! Good music is timeless and with Juvenile never has a statement held so much truth. Terius Grey also known as Juvenile is perhaps one of the most underrated rappers, but with performances like this! that's soon to change. The 'back that ass up' rapper, inspires such wildness within the audience, Rock has mosh pits, rap has crumping and that was the result when he performed his 2014 song 'Live Wire'. As the familiar Southern beat dropped, people were shaking so much I thought their souls were gonna leave their bodies there and then! This energy is hard to come by from a single song and when 'Back That Ass Up' came on, left right and center all I could see for miles on end was twerking, trying to keep up with such motion resulted in nothing less than your head bobbling up and down like the dog from the Churchill adverts Juveniles hype man prepared the audience, as if a scene out of a movie were being filmed, warming up the crowd and competing with the screaming girls as Juvenile strolled on with a bottle of alcohol that looked like it cost more than my entire existence, and that is what people love about Juvenile, he's just so calm, cool and relaxed. Even if you're not a fan, attend one of his performances, within twenty seconds of the first song, your opinion will change! If not then I PERSONALLY will teach you how to twerk.

Rapper/songwriter Terius Gray, aka Juvenile has been recording raps since the age of 19, and released his debut album way back in 1995. I’ve been following his music ever since, and hearing the maturing process and the music progress over the years has been wonderful. He encountered troubles in early 2000s where he had several run-ins with the law which unfortunately have continued over the last decade, but he has luckily ben able to keep producing his fantastic music regardless.

Hearing him perform live was incredible. He opened the show with Back that Thang Up, which everyone knew and was singing along to. He came down off of the stage and started dancing with everyone, Although the bouncers made sure we couldn’t get too close, it was great that he was actually interested in being down in the audience with his fans. He played through his new album The Fundamentals, and absolutely smashes it. He taught us as the audience little sections of the rap and got up to sing back to him, which was really cool. The show was nearly 2 hours long, and he maintained his energy and enthusiasm throughout which was great. He put on a wonderful performance I’d definitely watch again.

It is pretty impressive to now reflect that Louisiana rapper Juvenile, real name Terius Gray released his debut album 'Being Myself' at the age of 19. The record was a major release on the hip-hop scene of the 90's and although his commerciality has faded in recent years, the demand for his live show is ever present. The crowd's cheers are deafening before the rapper makes his appearance with hands raised clapping to the reaction.

Beginning with a huge blast from the past, the heavy baseline of '400 Degreez' gets the crowd moving instantly and jumping on that recognisable chorus. He runs through a selection of what he considers his best material and majority is well known from the crowd, especially the couple of tracks lifted from his only Billboard #1 'Reality Check'. It is the older material that goes over best, tracks such as 'U Understand' bringing the whole room together in mass singalong during the recognisable chorus. It is of course 'Back That Azz Up' that is saved for an encore in order to really push energy levels to new highs and end on a dose of 90's nostalgia.

Though Juvenile wasn't the headliner for this particular show, I've seen him as headliner before. His energy is always great, he keeps the crowd engaged and having fun, and he's on time. He does just enough to make it feel like a live show (vs listening to his hits on the radio), without it feeling too overdone. Awesome show!

Horrible show. Juvenile didn't show up and canceled last minute. No refunds or alternate dates offered or proposed. Security actually started to cwork me by and throw everyone out and told us to take it up with the venue.

Huge disappointment by an artist who is becoming less and less relevant.

Juvenile I'm from bay area and I was at the show in the bay last night and you was always do your thang.. I was upset that you was the first to cone out always legendary I was expecting you to come out out close to the end but the show was dope AF... You,Boosie and the homie mozzy kill it...

Juvenile never showed up. Mannie Fresh was there for like an hr, he did a great set but over disappointing. Great venue, great crowd but definitely not worth what I spent for the artist I wanted to see not to show up.

Man o man my first time seeing him live, the man is simple bad. He deserved all the hype and the props. I am truely a juvi fan now, i just loved his off the domb stuff. I had a blasted.

This was the word show ever. Juvenile nor Trina showed up for the concert. I am looking into getting my money back. It was not what was advertised and I am upset about this event.

Juvenile launches fan-demanded npr "tiny desk" concert & announces "400 degreez - 25th anniversary" edition coming november 3.

WATCH TINY DESK HERE

LOS ANGELES , June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Turning the heat all the way up this year, multiplatinum rap icon  Juvenile  proudly presents 400 Degreez – 25 TH Anniversary Edition on November 3, 2023 via UMe . He will celebrate his magnum opus and one of the most important Southern rap albums in history with this special release.

25 years ago, 400 Degreez left a scorching and indelible imprint on the culture upon arrival back on November 3, 1998 . It holds the distinction of becoming "the best-selling album in Cash Money Records history" and reaching 4x-platinum status. The ubiquitous "Back That Azz Up" has also impressively endured as a generational bounce anthem, popping up in tracks by modern superstars.

Among many accolades, The Ringer  crowned 400 Degreez one of the "20 Best Southern Rap Albums Ever , " and it achieved a coveted 9.4 grade from Pitchfork  who observed, "It 's an album about what it's like to be baptized in fire and the ways you need to be resourceful in order to survive—not to escape Hollywood shootouts, but to grit your teeth and keep creditors off your back, to keep from getting carjacked by kids who are bored and lashing out." 

Speaking to its resounding impact, the LP has generated nearly half-a-billion total streams and counting.

To celebrate its arrival, his fan-demanded NPR "Tiny Desk" concert also just premiered today. Watch it HERE . Initially, his Twitter followers urged his performance on the program, and he hilariously responded, "Wtf is a tiny desk" on April 10 . The next day, he promised, "All Things Considered, 10k retweets, and I will RECONSIDER doing @NPR Tiny Desk . " His mentions lit up, and he found himself in Washington, D.C. at NPR headquarters delivering an epic performance earlier this month. For "Tiny Desk , " his once-in-a-lifetime band and New Orleans natives comprised of longtime producer and 400 Degreez collaborator Mannie Fresh , 5x-GRAMMY® Award winning  Jon Batiste , and GRAMMY® Award-winning trombonist-singer Troy Andrews a.k.a. Trombone Shorty .

They bring classics from 400 Degreez to life like never before.

After more than two decades, it's still the soundtrack to the summer.

Juvenile  joined forces with Birdman for the 2019 collaborative album,  J.A.G. The latter generated over 20 million total streams and views across platforms and incited unanimous critical applause.  Pitchfork  christened it  "a shockingly strong late-career reunion record , "  and  Billboard  summed it up best as  "a beginning of a new chapter"  and praised Juvenile,  "He sounds revitalized . "

ABOUT JUVENILE

Simply put, hip-hop might not be the same without Juvenile . Over nearly three decades, the multiplatinum record-breaking New Orleans icon served up a string of classic albums, influenced two generations of stars, and pioneered a sound rooted in Louisiana bounce, yet carried by worldwide rap appeal and ambition. After his Cash Money Records debut Solja Rags , he crafted an era-defining opus in the form of 400 Degreez . Not only did it go quadruple-platinum, but it also became "the best-selling album in Cash Money Records history . " It produced staples such as the title track, "Ha" (which JAY-Z notably remixed), and "Back That Azz Up . " The latter would be sampled by everyone from Drake to City Girls . The Ringer lauded 400 Degreez among the "20 Best Southern Rap Albums Ever" behind only UGK 's Ridin' Dirty and OutKast 's Aquemini . Pitchfork bestowed a rare 9.4-out-of-10 rating upon the record, and Kendrick Lamar cited it as one of his "Favorite Albums" in Complex and went so far as to claim, "They had the West Coast on smash. We definitely tried to be like them . " Juvenile comprised The Hot Boys alongside Lil Wayne , B.G. , and Turk . They smashed charts with the Get It How U Live!  [1997] and the platinum Guerilla Warfare [1999]. His next solo offering, Tha G-Code , went double-platinum followed by the platinum Project English . Meanwhile, 2003's Juve The Great emerged as another unsung platinum classic as "Slow Motion" [feat. Soulja Slim ] topped the Billboard Hot 100 at #1 for two weeks. He maintained a prolific pace in the ensuing years and collaborated with everyone from Future to Yo Gotti before reuniting with Cash Money Records .

Juvenile Celebrates 'Monumental Achievement' of Classic '400 Degreez' Album With New Video for Title Track

The 1998 album also featured "Back That Azz Up," recently interpolated by Ye and Ty Dolla Sign.

View this video on YouTube

The book is what they will never abide by .

This week, Juvenile and Mannie Fresh rolled out a new video for the title track off the former's classic 1998 album 400 Degreez . To be clear, this isn't a new version of the song itself but is instead a fresh visual meant to celebrate the legacy of the Cash Money release, which notably features the recently-interpolated-by-Ye " Back That Azz Up ."

A message at the beginning of the video, available in full up top, states that its release is intended to commemorate the album's recent 25th anniversary.

"On November 3, 1998, Juvenile released his third studio album 400 Degreez ," the message reads. "The album went on to be certified 4x Platinum, having sold over 4 million copies. This groundbreaking album remains Juvenile’s bestselling project of his solo career. This visual is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of this monumental achievement."

The Diesel Filmz-directed video does indeed feel like a celebration, with the palpable artistic chemistry between Juvenile and Mannie on full display. By the time the first chorus hits, you're fully re-immersed in the world of a timeless song.

This April, Juvenile and Mannie will take the stage together as part of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Last June, the two linked up for an unforgettable and highly rewatchable performance on NPR's Tiny Desk series. Revisit that here .

Juvenile previously marked 25 years of "Back That Azz Up" (a.k.a. "Back That Thang Up") with a public expression of gratitude for "the azzes" that helped make its legacy possible.

"Y’all really been backing that azz up for a quarter century," Juvenile told fans in February. "I gotta hand it to the azzes. Y’all did yalls thang."

Amid reactions to the new "400 Degreez" video's release, fans have been looking back on the song's intoxicating production and the larger legacy of the album. Take a look below. It seems as though quite a few fans would love to see other artists take this approach with older songs in their respective catalogs, and I must say I agree.

Who's next?

Juvenile, Mannie Fresh to reunite Tiny Desk Band for New Year’s Eve at Saenger Theatre

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - On New Year’s Eve, New Orleans rap legend Juvenile will look to the future with a big nod to his past.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of his third studio album “400 Degreez”, Juvenile is reuniting his “Tiny Desk Band” for a performance at the Saenger Theatre to ring in 2024.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Juvenile (@juviethegreat)

The 400 Degreez was released on November 3, 1998, on Universal Records and Bryan “Baby” Williams’ Cash Money Records. It is still Juvenile’s best-selling album of his solo career. The album was certified 4x platinum by the RIAA on December 19, 2000.

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts is a video series of live concerts hosted by NPR music at the desk of All Songs Considered radio show host Bob Boilen. In the series, well-known bands perform with near acoustic or minimal stripped-down ensembles for intimate performances.

Last summer, Juvenile “went viral” when he threw his hat into the Tiny Desk ring and brought a New Orleans all-star band to Washington D.C. for a video that received critical acclaim.

Rather than traditional hip-hop samples, Juveniles songs were played by a live band and he brought out Mannie Fresh, Trombone Shorty, and Jon Batiste as his special guests.

For the New Year’s Eve show, Juvenile says that the only thing that will be different from the Tiny Desk performance is that the band will be more dynamic, featuring a full sound.

The performance hosted by Juvenile and Mannie Fresh will start at 9 p.m. on Dec. 31. Tickets can be purchased here .

Juvenile: Tiny Desk Concert

Bobby Carter

NPR Music is celebrating Black Music Month with an array of brand new Tiny Desk concerts. Together, these artists represent the past, present and future of Black music. This month of carefully curated shows is a celebration of Black artists expressing themselves in ways we've never seen before, and of the Tiny Desk's unique way of showcasing that talent.

"WTF is a Tiny Desk and no! " are the words that led to one of the most publicized journeys any musician has taken to get to NPR headquarters. That was Juvenile 's response to Twitter user @theylovemyke's request for him to play a Tiny Desk concert back in April. His response ignited Black Twitter, launching a barrage of tweets and reposts of favorite performances at the Desk, as fans implored the "T.C. soldier" to reconsider. His viral reconsideration led to a few DMs, which led to a few phone calls, and the date was set. Juve, like some rappers in his class, had never heard of our little nook in Washington, D.C., but he soon found out.

The pressure to deliver was palpable in the planning stages but as the band was assembled, my expectations were exceeded. Tiny Desk alumni and New Orleans natives Trombone Shorty and Alvin Ford were brought into the fold. Another Tiny Desk vet from New Orleans, Jon Batiste , flew in from London just to be a part of the set. Juvenile sourced The Amours from right here in D.C. to handle background vocals, along with string players from the Louisiana Philharmonic for the grand finale. The architect of the Juvenile/Cash Money Records sound, DJ Mannie Fresh , became the glue that pieced it all together. The result was one of the most rambunctious experiences at the Desk. The Hot Boy coasted through highlights from a decades-long, groundbreaking career, concluding with a performance of "Back That Azz Up," so exuberant that the audience demanded an encore and the band obliged. A Tiny Desk first.

Juvenile presents the 25 th Anniversary of 400 Degreez featuring Mannie Fresh, DJ Jubilee, & Tiny Desk Band

Join New Orleans native, Juvenile, for a New Years Eve celebration highlighting the 25 th anniversary of his best-selling quadruple platinum album 400 Degreez.  This show, like his NPR Tiny Desk, features the greatest producer of all time, DJ Mannie Fresh, DJ Jubilee, and Juvenile’s all-star band with members who perform with Trombone Shorty, Pretty Lights, Lil Durk, Solange, Mystikal and more. But, unlike his NPR Tiny Desk, this show features the full sound of the band, and Mannie Fresh, in front of a wild New Years Eve crowd at the incredible Saenger Theatre in New Orleans.

25 Years ago Juvenile changed the game with his album 400 Degreez produced by Mannie Fresh and released on Cash Money Records. It went on to go quadruple platinum and was the best selling solo rap album by a black artist of the pre-streaming era. This album not only put New Orleans on the map nationally but was also the first southern rap album to get NY and then national radio airplay. From this album we got masterpieces like “Ha” and the greatest love song of all time “Back That Azz Up”. In 2023 Juvenile has been on a tear releasing the hit beverage Juvie Juice, dropping the #1 NPR Tiny Desk of the year, selling out anniversary shows coast to coast, and being first rapper to get special recognition from the City of New Orleans, the State of Louisiana and the United States Congress.

Juvenile and Mannie Fresh reconnect in new video for classic "400 Degreez" collab

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

2023 marked the 25th anniversary of Juvenile 's breakout LP, 400 Degreez , an album that thrust Cash Money Records into the national spotlight. In celebration of that crowning achievement, fans will get to check out a deluxe edition of the project this Friday (March 29), complete with the unreleased cuts “Party” and “We Be Blowing Money.”

On Tuesday (March 26), the New Orleans , LA legend added to the festivities by unveiling a music video for the pivotal album's title track, which was directed by Diesel Films and began with a message to viewers.

"On Nov. 3, 1998, Juvenile released his third studio album, 400 Degreez . The album went on to be certified four-times platinum, having sold four million copies," the opener read. "The groundbreaking album remains Juvenile 's best-selling project of his solo career."

In the four-minute clip, shots of Juvie performing were interspersed with various scenes that brought the song's subject matter to life. Mannie Fresh , who produced the iconic cut, was also featured prominently throughout.

In an interview with Billboard , the "Ha" rapper reflected on growing old with Hip Hop. "I’m grateful for the fact that I’ve been in the music industry for 20-plus years and I’m still here," he said to the publication. "I can’t say I am relevant ‘cause my new music is coming out, but I think I will be relevant. I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere, especially when it comes down to doing shows. I got classics. I had trendsetting classics and I was part of a movement. Not just one album. I was part of a movement with multiple albums and multiple hits. I could still get on stage and perform. I’m not a big 'ol big dude out of shape. I still could do it."

Check out Juvenile's long-awaited clip for "400 Degreez" below.

Over two decades after its original release, Juvenile ’s seminal third studio album, 400 Degreez , is set to be given a deluxe reissue.

The album is the rapper’s best-selling record in his career to date and has been certified four times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In celebration of 400 Degreez , which reinvented the hip-hop scene in 1998 and cemented Juvenile’s status as a pioneer of Southern rap, UMe will release a new deluxe edition of the record. A digital deluxe edition will arrive on March 29, followed by a 2LP color vinyl on April 26.

Both editions will feature two new bonus tracks, titled “Party” and “We Be Blowing Money.” The rest of the tracklist, meanwhile, will include the album’s 18 original songs, from the Lil Wayne -featuring “Run For It,” to the Jay-Z remix of “Ha.”

Back in 1999, 400 Degreez peaked at No.2 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No.9 on the Billboard 200. It featured the hit single “Back That Azz Up” – which continues to enjoy viral success to this day – and won R&B Album of the Year at the 1999 Billboard Music Awards.

The album was named one of Rolling Stone ’s 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time in 2020, while many critics and publications have praised Juvenile and 400 Degreez for their impact on hip-hop. “Imagining Wayne hitting the highest peaks of rap stardom a decade later without Juve’s influence is impossible,” Crack wrote in 2018. “Equally, it’s crazy to imagine rappers like T.I. and Young Jeezy swaggering out of the South in the new century without Juve’s path-finding explorations.”

Last year, Juvenile made his highly-anticipated debut appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk series . The star used the performance to air some of his greatest hits across a 10-song set, including “Back That Azz Up,” “Set It Off,” “Rodeo,” and “Slow Motion.”

Juvenile has dropped a new music video, but the song is a decades old fan-favorite.

The Louisiana native shared the official visuals for “400 Degreez,” the title track from his top-selling album in celebration of its 25th anniversary.

A written message at the beginning of the video, directed by Diesel Filmz, reflects on the career landmark. The visual ends with clips from throughout the New Orleans musician’s longstanding career.

“On November 3, 1998, Juvenile released his third studio album  400 Degreez ,” the message reads. “The album went on to be certified 4x Platinum, having sold over 4 million copies. This groundbreaking album remains Juvenile’s bestselling project of his solo career. This visual is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of this monumental achievement.”

“I made music I hoped would connect with the culture, the kids, and the ladies and that worked. From how we dressed to our attitudes, it all lasted forever,” the 49-year-old reflected in a 2023 interview with The Tennessean. “Make party songs for the women and the men will follow,” he laughed.

Juvenile cuts up at NPR Tiny Desk Concert: 'Give them what they want'

WARNING: This Tiny Desk Concert is taking over for the '99 and 2000.

Juvenile made his long-awaited Tiny Desk Concert appearance Friday and he brought Mannie Fresh with him.

The New Orleans rapper performed some of his biggest hits, including "Project Chick" and "Slow Motion," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts for two weeks in 2004.

When it was time to break out his 2006 single "Rodeo," a Washington D.C. sisterly duo called The Amours took care of the vocals.

Juvenile closed the performance with none other than his 1998 song " Back That Thang Up ." Yes, that one – the one that gets even the shyest partygoers out on the dance floor.

As the rapper geared up to perform the song, Mannie Fresh called it "the greatest love song" ever written.

He rapped as a violin, a cello, a trumpet and other instruments hyped him and the crowd up. Once the song ended, Juvenile heard someone in the building request an encore.

The New Orleans rapper couldn't help but oblige.

"You really want it again?" he asked as the crowd cheered. "We've got to give them what they want, dog … Let’s go! Let's do it again!"

The rapper also announced Friday that a 25th anniversary edition of his 1998 album "400 Degreez" will be released on Nov. 3, 2023.

400 Degreez 25th Anniversary

by Carl Henderson · June 12, 2023

When Andre Benjamin thought he could stand up to east coast bias at the 1995 Source Awards. He gave a bewitching declaration divulging that: “The South Got Something to Say.” I don’t think even he realized how thunderous that something would be, nor that over 25 years later we would still be talking.

The backstory is important because that moment painted a picture for so many future Southern musical aspirations. And specifically any dressed in Camouflage Bandannas, White T Shirts, and Reeboks.

In New Orleans, we have an expression:

“Do you want a cold drink?”

If you are from the N.O. you understand this donation is not cold water. What you are being offered is fellowship in the form of a carbonated beverage. 400 Degreez hit the nervous system like a sprite from a Mcdonald’s fountain in the early 2000s, with one hit you were hooked!

November 3rd, 1998 voodoo in audio from out the Magnolia Project struck the planet and moved the earth off its axis. For 25 years 400 Degreez has been a staple not only around New Orleans, not only Southern Hip Hop but tied to the lore of hip hop in general. At this moment in time, 400 Degreez is as American as a bowl of gumbo. To highlight the 25th anniversary I was able to speak to some fans of the album who will be attending the concert at The Howard Theatre in Washington, DC. I will include their testimonies throughout the piece.

That bass on Ghetto Children is underdog music.. Who’s The MF. Juvie is probably one of the most underrated storytellers in rap history. Need all those songs at Howard Theatre man.- @NFLMaliik

The album, the third from Juvenile with occasional assistance from the Hotboys created a force greater than any hurricane wind known to man. 400 Degreez isn’t just an album. It’s a feeling, a manifesto with survival steps for hotboys and hotgirls worldwide. It’s the devil on your left shoulder and God on your right shoulder. Truly the definition of balancing good and evil but settling right in the middle because it’s more fun that way. “Ghetto Children ” finds a young Terius Grey and his gritty voice detailing intricate commandments of hood politics, systemic despair, and neighborhood diplomacy, while still being powerful enough to not succumb and intently dream of change. As someone who grew up 2 blocks from Juvie hearing this album everywhere, seeing it on BET, MTV, and The Box certainly gave me the inspiration to dream.

You can thank him for these words.

“My favorite Juvenile song is “Gone Ride With Me”.

400 Degreez painted a vivid picture for me. I remember where I was when it came out. I remember being in Oklahoma the following summer and hearing “Back That Azz Up” number one on their radio countdowns. That wasn’t normal. I went to Mexico a year ago, met some Houston people, they knew 400 Degreez start to finish. It was a classic then, and a classic now.

Juvenile is important because he signifies a shift not just in southern rap but all of hip hop that is still present today. He was part of a culture shift, and was on the front line. Over two decades later….he still on fire.” -Chris C.

“Back that Azz Up” (which at its core is bounce music with a gangsta twist) The second single off the album (sampled from UGK’s “Underground”) created a new National Anthem for the twerkers worldwide. 25 years later you can’t go to a function anywhere and not hear “Back That Azz Up”. And not just a black function, this song gets major play from any race or demographic you can think of.

Honestly speaking, “Back That Azz Up” might be gentrified at this point.

I once saw the song performed in sign language at a concert, there is not a person on the planet that has not heard it. Easily one of the most recognizable songs within the first two seconds of the beat dropping. When the strings start playing, followed by the words, “Cash Money Taking Over For the 99 and the 2000s” everybody knows exactly what time it is, at this very moment you need to run to the dance floor. Guys start looking around the party for the big fine mommas, adjusting their pants for maximum “maneuverability” for the incoming backs well….being  backed. The hot girls fix their hair, eyeing the room for the ballers, adjusting their clothing for maximum flexibility to back the backup. A cultural phenomenon.

“Favorite song: Ghetto Children 400 degrees is my childhood.

It’s old New Orleans. It’s talent shows and teen summits. It’s motivation. It’s nostalgic to listen to 400 degreez as an adult and think back to old New Orleans. Catching the RTA after school, listening to the CD on a CD after school.

Juvie is important because he is a trailblazer. He was a part of the movement that showed the rest of the country that New Orleans had talent. Juvie is a New Orleans great. He is a New Orleans figure. You can not think New Orleans and not think juvie. You can’t think Juvie and not think New Orleans. Juvie has kept it uptown even through the years. Even with the success, he still comes back to his roots.’ -Jackie M

I guarantee your sister, grandma, aunt, baby mother, and favorite cousin have all fallen victim to Juvie crooning, “Girl you workin’ with some ass yea, you bad yea”. You don’t have to take my word for it, though. You can simply visit Juvenile’s twitter bio.

If you want it straight from the master Azz-backer upper himself. “Over 1 billion Azzes Backed” is what it reads.

Besides New Orleans, D.C. being a chocolate city, is a perfect spot for the 25th-anniversary show. D.C. is filled with transplants, many from New Orleans and other southern places. The DMV has 12 HBCUs (Shout out Howard, Hampton, Virginia State, Virginia Union, Virginia U Lynchburg, Norfolk State, Virginia State, Bowie State, Coppin State, Morgan State, Univ of Maryland Eastern Shore, and University of District of Columbia) in the area. I know from experience that nobody backs that thang up like an HBCU. “Back That Azz Up” being the United negro gyrate anthem, it certainly deserves to be performed in our nation’s capital; I am confident this was scribed in the old testament. Juvenile tagged me in a tweet I was able to speak to people about their relationship with the album. People I’d never corresponded with before; mainly from the east coast, but we left the conversations feeling like old friends who grew up together and were excited we could come together again. 400 Degreez brought us together like Sunday dinner at Big Momma’s house.

‘My favorite song on the album is “Gone Ride With Me”. I’m born and raised in DC. The album came out when I was a Sophomore in college (Morgan State University) so it was one of the soundtracks to my college years. I remember playing it A LOT, and being entrenched in not just Juvenile’s “off the porch” rap style, but also by Mannie Fresh’s production as well. During that era, a lot of producers had a “signature” sound, but I felt like Mannie was very diverse with his sound, and I was just like “wow”.

As a DJ, to see that “Back That Azz Up” came out when I was in college at an HBCU, and is STILL a staple at HBCU parties and parties in general is amazing. The song is truly the definition of a classic, and it still gets everyone that loves shaking their azz going. Lol’ -@DJHeatDC

I’ve previously stated this and to quote myself, “HA might be the most futuristic-sounding song of all time”. Juvenile wrote this song in a spaceship moving blocks on a pyramid while drinking Juve Juice. Juvenile exhibits compassion and lyrical dexterity, asking caring thought-provoking questions in a call-and-response rhyme scheme. The song has an indigenous feeling to it. Juvie litters affirmations all over the track for you to manifest a better existence.

Sometimes we all randomly yell out, “That’s you with that badass Benz Ha, That’s you can’t keep an ole lady..” feeling great fulfillment after doing so – remember this if you don’t remember anything else:

Juvenile cares if don’t nobody else cares.

“Ha” is the lead single off the album. The world didn’t know what to make of it. Juvenile rapped from the perspective of a clairvoyant neighborhood with Don Lemon detailing the ins and outs of what he saw in his section. Listening to this song for the first time must’ve sounded like pig Latin to the untrained ear.

But in the South? “Ha” was like your mom calling you to her house for assistance with the reward for your service being a pot of big butter beans. “Ha” was home cooking, it just felt good and it left you full, but you still wanted more if left overs were available. “Ha ” was named by BillBoard as one of the best 500 songs of all time. That simply was not supposed to be possible, there’s no way Andre saw that coming after the Source awards.

You a paper chaser, you got yo block on fire. Remain in the G, til the moment you expire — You know what it is: you make nothin out of somethin, you handle yo biz—and don’t be cryin and sufferin. -Juvenile, Ha

Over 20 years after its release 400 Degreez made the award winning video game series “MLB The Show” soundtrack. Yes that’s right, people were stealing bases in the year 2021 , singing Juvenile. That doesn’t happen without a home-run being produced “Off Top” in 1998. 400 Degreez required Jay-Z to jump into a lane foreign for him at the time on the “Ha” remix. This was before Big Pimpin’.

And anytime an album can produce a song (400 Degreez) replicating its album title you know you’re working with something legendary. “You see me, I eat, shit, and talk rap” is one of the most iconic opening lines of all time musically. The skits still sound fresh, and the Mannie Fresh filled production doesn’t feel the age of someone who can finally rent a car without restrictions.The Pen & Pixel cover will forever be a part of the elite group of album covers.

The overall point being, the beauty of this project along with Juvenile is that it has all aged well 25 years later.

Juvenile’s influence in 2023 still reigns supreme and stands next to the remarkable flows created in 1998, some that are being borrowed throughout the rap game presently today. I’m inclined to say that if 400 Degreez doesn’t happen, it’s a fair chance we may not get Future. Lord Hendrix has gone on record many times to speak glowingly about Juvenile. But not just Future, Juvenile’s melodic, sing-songy flow created a lane for many artists. His musical DNA is seen throughout artists like Drake, Lil Baby, Young Boy, and many more. It is an incredible feat for400 Degreez to still be relevant after 25 years. Especially considering that 1998 was overflowing with classic projects, and Juvenile may have been the least-known rapper to release an album that year. 25 years of 400 Degreez is a testament to staying true to yourself, true to your vision, and never compromising your authenticity.

“When you broke you drove Ha” is a phrase acquired from surviving life’s fires. Once life throws you in a frying pan, coming out of the fire is nothing. The album is about enduring tragedy and triumph but finding time to ball out because tomorrow is not promised. You could place Juvenile anywhere on the planet. He would still be Juvenile, you can take the man out of Uptown, but you can’t take Uptown of the man. So if you get asked how you want your sandwich dressed, know that you aren’t being asked about wardrobe.

If you are in the D.C. area on June 14th do yourself a favor and pay homage to the patron Saint of the Magnolia. Tickets are still on sale but are selling quickly.

Per the website, Juvie is performing with a live band featuring members of Trombone Shorty, Prince, and Pretty Lights. Jon Batiste is confirmed as a guest on the show. With anticipation growing around the concert I’m sure he’s gonna give a performance worthy of the album. 5x platinum, and Twenty-five years later, 400 Degreezstill drawing top billing. Happy 25 years Juve The Great! Cheers to you. If he ain’t a hot boy, then what do you call that?

1998 Rewind: Remembering Juvenile’s 400 Degreez

November 3, 2023 Edward Bowser 1998 Rewind , best of , Juvenile , music 1

I’ve been very vocal about my love for the year 1998 –  I believe it’s one of the last great years in R&B and hip-hop history.  Since 2023 marks 25 years since those magical 12 months, 1998 Rewind will look back at some of the best (and most underrated) albums of that time.

25 years ago today, Southern hip-hop got a major shot in the arm. Juvenile’s debut album dropped, fueling the juggernaut known as Cash Money Records. Their dominance would kick open the door for the South’s dominance over mainstream rap, a stranglehold that remains today. My boy Troy Smith stops by to talk about Juve’s incredible impact on both the dance floor and the careers of his fellow Hot Boys.

Share your first memories of hearing 400 Degreez.

Troy: It was a game-changer. I was never into the No Limit craze, but Cash Money hooked me. 400 Degreez f elt like the gateway into a whole new world. It started with seeing the “Ha” video, which led me to discover an aesthetic that was more forward-thinking than anything going on in New York at the time. Mannie Fresh’s production was simple but sounded like it was from the future. You could sense a cultural shift.

Edd: I have a lot of issues with hip-hop today, but here’s one thing that I appreciate: The Internet has essentially eliminated borders, and with that, erased a lot of the regional biases that plagued 90s hip-hop. My hometown homie Pusha T once called my state of Virginia “The Middle East”– close enough to be exposed to the East Coast sounds of northern rappers, but still grimy enough to embrace the Dirty South. That gave us more appreciation for both sounds.

Admittedly, I wasn’t a fan of Cash Money’s early records – the bars were too simplistic and all over the place, getting lost in the chaotic production. But when Juvenile dropped “Ha,” it felt different. His flow was unconventional, but structured. Like a New Orleans version of ODB, there was a method to his madness – an elite storyteller and MC who was true to his region but captivating with his creativity.

Of course my NY friends on campus turned their noses up at Juve (like they did nearly all Southern rappers) because he didn’t fit their boom bap mold. But that’s exactly why I DID like him. He was telling his story on his own terms. Though I was a fan of the singles, I didn’t hear 400 Degreez until long after he became CMB’s flagship artist, and I always regretted copping it in real time. It was a turning point for Southern hip-hop.

Talk about your pick for best song.

Troy: “Ha”

One of the best hip-hop records of all time. It doesn’t even sound from this world. It’s so bonkers that Jay-Z — at his commercial peak — couldn’t even figure it out how to properly rap over it on the remix.

Edd: “Back That Azz Up”

LOL, I feel you Troy. I wouldn’t say Jay was unable to rap on the beat – I thought he did OK – but you could definitely tell he was WAY outta his element. But as great as “Ha” is, there’s only one answer here – the track that has become as legendary at Black functions as the Electric Slide. I know many of y’all reading this might be sick n’ tired of Backin’ that Thang Up for 25 years, but there’s a reason why it’s endured. Mannie Fresh’s iconic production, Juve’s endless quotables (“youse a big, fine woman!”) and even Lil Wayne’s court-jester like outro have all become stables in Black culture. That’s just not hindsight talking – even in 1998, I thought this song was on another level.

What’s your pick for best video?

Troy: “Back That Azz Up”

What else needs to be said? It was a phenomenon that cemented Cash Money as a cultural force. There’s not much to it from a technical standpoint but there didn’t need to be. It established a vibe and a culture that changed hip-hop. People couldn’t get enough of it.

Edd: “Ha”

And now, we flip-flop. I gotta go with “Ha.” Juve essentially takes us on a tour of New Orleans’ Magnolia Projects, putting his home, his environment, his story, into our living rooms. It’s brilliant in its simplicity. Rapid-fire shots of families on the stoop, cops shaking down young men, dogs sitting on the roofs of cars (for some reason…) – this isn’t the ridiculous excess that was the Cash Money hallmark. This was Juve’s roots – a video as authentic and confrontational as the song it represents. I’d put it among one of the best videos of the 90s.

What’s the most underrated track?

Troy: “Rich N****z”

The energy is magnetic. It seemed like Mannie Fresh was trying to cram as many frenetic drums into the beat as possible. Turk and Lil Wayne threatening to steal the show. Wayne’s verse is really the first sign that he might be something special.

Edd: “Ghetto Children”

There are several underrated gems but “Ghetto Children” keeps me running back because Juve’s flow is CRAZY. Especially here:

Snitches I can’t have that B****es I can’t have that Riches you can have that Just bring me my cash back Look its all gravy with me go head and shine That’s how you play it with me ya big tyme All I want is the Gs With a trunk full of keys A Benz on twenties You got something you can lend me?

Now if you haven’t heard the song and you’re reading that for the first time, you’re probably not moved. If you just recite those lines verbatim, they’re nothing special. But the way Juve flips his cadence every few lines makes even the most straightforward bars insanely catchy. Hear it for yourself – it’s an artist at work.

Producer Mannie Fresh was a MONSTER in this era. What’s the best beat on the project?

“Ha” was one of those beats everyone wanted to freestyle over. It’s jaw-dropping right from the start and gets better as the song goes on with the final seconds leaving you wanting more. Had Mannie Fresh never produced anything else, he’d be legendary for this alone.

Mannie was, no pun intended, on fire in this era, and 400 Degreez boasts a plethora of top-shelf production. But nothing beats “Ha” because, well, NOTHING sounds like it before or since. We talked earlier about how hard it was for Jay Z to rap over this beat – yes, Jay Z, one of the greatest of ALL TIME could barely keep up. Fresh outdid himself and props for Juve for making it a classic.

The Hot Boys were all over this album. Who delivered the best feature?

Troy: Lil Wayne on “Back That Azz Up”

Lil Wayne doesn’t say much on the outro to “Back That Azz Up.” Yet, by the time he’s done, a star is born. There are better guest verses on 400 Degreez (See: B.G. on “Flossin’ Season”) but Wayne’s “Drop-drop it like it’s hot” moment” is the one you can’t get out of your head.

Edd: B.G. on “Flossin Season”

Troy, you almost got it right! Yeah, Wayne’s “wobbledy” moment lives in infamy today because it was the world’s introduction to the man who eventually would reshape hip-hop in his image. But besides that bit of trivia, the actual contribution is pretty dumb. “A Milli” it ain’t. Instead, I’ll show B.G. love for “Flossin Season.” You won’t find many B.G. songs on my playlist (well, other than “Bling Bling”) but he did a solid job here.

Talk about 400 Degreez’s meteoric role in the rise of Cash Money.

Troy: It was everything. It’s as important as any album is to the launch of a major record label in hip-hop history. 400 Degreez kicked off Cash Money’s deal with Universal in a stunning way both commercially and creatively. When Juvenile says, “Cash Money Records taking over for the ’99 & the 2000,” he was prophetic.

Edd: Can’t add much more than that. Cash Money went from regional heroes to national heavyweights off the strength of this album. B.G., the Big Tymers and of course Lil Wayne would all be thrust into the spotlight thanks to the path 400 Degreez blazed.

Would Cash Money have reached the same heights without 400 Degreez?

Troy: No, I don’t think so. While Lil Wayne would go on to be a bigger star than Juvenile, you could argue he maybe doesn’t have the opportunity to get to that point without his guest appearances on 400 Degreez . The album’s commercial success established Cash Money as a trendsetter and tastemaker. Mannie Fresh was in demand, Baby was a star and the Hot Boys were now a recognizable crew. Was B.G.’s next album going to do that? Was Lil Wayne’s The Block Is Hot ? Both were good albums but not nearly on the same level.  

Edd: This is an interesting question. My first instinct is to say “playa please, they’d all be back on the block if not for Juve” but the more I think about it, I’m not so sure. Mannie’s production prowess was just TOO good to remain a secret for long. And though it took a LONG time before Wayne would wind up in those Best Rapper Alive convos, his hunger was undeniable. Plus, never underestimate Baby’s ability to plot and scheme for that next big business deal. 400 Degreez was absolutely the catalyst for the rise of Cash Money Records – Juve was their best shot at mainstream appeal. But with both Mannie and Wayne developing as players in the coming years, maybe success was guaranteed after all. It would have taken much longer to get there, but CMB’s dominance could have been inevitable.

Is 400 Degreez a hip-hop classic?

Troy: Yes. From a quality standpoint, none of the tracks — save for the cringeworthy “Cash Money Concert” skits — are skippable. Even the few tracks you might argue are filler sound refreshing upon a relisten. From an impact standpoint, this is one of the essential hip-hop albums of the last 30 years and a landmark achievement for Southern rap. 400 Degreez holds its own in a year that also delivered Capital Punishment, Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life, Aquemini , It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot , Moment of Truth and several other great albums.

Edd: Y’all know how stingy I am with the “classic” label, and I’ve gotten in MANY arguments with Cash Money stans for denying this album the ultimate praise. But let’s break down what this album means for both Juvenile and hip-hop:

– Sold 6 million copies worldwide

– Is an incredible album, easily the best of this era of Cash Money releases

– Birthed two undeniably classic songs, including one song that become an indelible part of Black culture itself

– Made Juvenile a star, made Mannie Fresh one of the most in-demand producers in the game for the next decade and made Cash Money Records a major player

– Was an important cog in Southern rap’s takeover of hip-hop

– And arguably most importantly – was the launching pad for Lil Wayne, who in a decade would become the blueprint for rap artists AND hip-hop culture for the majority of the 2010s, and even today.

So let me formally apologize to all those playas I yelled at. From its quality to it legacy, 400 Degreez is an unquestionable classic.

When you think about it, Juvenile sold himself short – Cash Money didn’t just take over for the 9-9 and the 2000, 400 Degreez has been burning hot for 25 years and counting.

Zvenigorod is a beautiful little town situated some 60 km west of Moscow. Its name itself (ringing city) implies the chiming of church bells. No wonder the Zvenigorod coat-of-arms displays a bell, the town’s symbol. A 35-tonne giant, Bolshoi Blagovest (Great Annunciation), cast by the distinguished foundry master Alexandr Grigoryev, enhanced the beauty of the Savva Monastery’s bell-tower until the year 1941. It had no equal in beauty and melodiousness.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

• Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
• Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
• How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
• What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
• What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
• What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.
