A year later, he released the multi-platinum 400 Degreez, which included his first nationwide hits " Ha" and " Back That Azz Up".
After signing to Cash Money, Juvenile released Solja Rags in 1997, which included the major local hit "Solja Rag".
He released his debut album Being Myself in 1995. Juvenile's career began in the early 1990s as a teenager with bounce music recordings that made him a local star. Cash Money Records took over for the ’99 and the 2000.Terius Gray (born March 26, 1975), better known by his stage name Juvenile, is an American rapper best known for his work with Cash Money in the late 1990s and early 2000s, both solo and as a member of the label’s then-flagship group, Hot Boys. During a time when No Limit Records was running both southern hip-hop and New Orleans, Juvenile came with a sound that was undeniable. Tracks from 400 Degreez like the title track, Gone Ride With Me, and Rich N****z are all classics. It’s a song that still gets played on a regular club night of faithfully at a wedding reception. A record that was ahead of its times, being released before almost two decades before a twerk era. “Back That Azz Up” has proved to be a timeless classic. The video definitely represented the song. From the old ladies in white dresses and church hats to the artists of Cash Money Records standing in alleyways. Every frame of the video could be a photo in a museum. The Marc Klasfeld-directed video combined shiny new Mercedes and Porsches with boarded-up housing projects.
The single’s visual is a masterpiece of it’s on. The album’s first single, “Ha” delivered a southern slang in hip-hop that we were not familiar with in music. The now classic album laid the foundation. For Cash Money Records, 400 Degreez was the jumpoff and the official green light. Hailing from the CJ Peete housing projects in New Orleans, Juvenile kept southern hip-hop going when he released 400 Degreez in 1998.
