Juvenile at Drai's Nightclub

Artist Profile

About Juvenile

Terius Gray — performing as Juvenile — was born March 25, 1975, in the Magnolia Projects of New Orleans, Louisiana, and began his career in the city's bounce music scene as a teenager, developing the propulsive bass-driven sound that defined New Orleans rap before Cash Money Records signed him. His 1998 album 400 Degreez — featuring production by Mannie Fresh and featuring a then-16-year-old Lil Wayne on Back That Azz Up — became the highest-selling album of 1998 with over four million copies sold and remains Cash Money Records' highest-selling project to date. Back That Azz Up, released June 11, 1999, featuring Mannie Fresh and Lil Wayne, was one of three singles that launched Cash Money Records into the pop mainstream and played a defining role in introducing bounce music — the New Orleans-specific hip-hop style built on propulsive basslines and call-and-response hooks — to national audiences. His membership in the Hot Boys alongside Lil Wayne, B.G., and Birdman established Cash Money's group identity in the late 1990s. He returned to Cash Money in 2014 after an earlier departure. In Las Vegas, he performs at Drai's Nightclub at The Vanderpump Hotel. Guest list through NoCoverVegas for his Drai's appearances. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juvenile_(rapper)
