Juvenile (rapper)

Juvenile (born Terius Gray) is a gangsta rapper from New Orleans. He began recording in a distinctive southern style with Being Myself (1995, Warlock Records).

In 1997, Solja Rags, Juvenile's debut with Cash Money Records, was an underground hit. In 1999, Solja Rags was re-released nationally to ride the wave of popularity Juvenile was enjoying with the release of 400 Degreez and its smash lead single, "Back That Ass Up", which eventually became a pop crossover hit in early 2000. Warlock Records released a remixed version of Being Myself at the same time. After the lackluster reception of The G-Code and Project English (2001), which only contained the very minor hit single, "From Your Momma", Juvenile left Cash Money Records, releasing The Compilation in 2002 with the UTP (Uptown Project Playas) crew. Juvenile returned to Cash Money in 2003. His latest album is Juve The Great(2004). He has released a total of nine albums.

This summer, his Juve The Great album has spawned a massive hit called "Slow Motion". The song topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart on August 7, 2004 knocking Usher's "Confessions" (part 2) out of number one after only two weeks. It is Juvenile's and guest artist Soulja Slim's first No. 1 on the Hot 100. The song has managed to achieve this feat essentially on the strength of urban radio airplay alone as it has not yet had massive pop crossover success. However, such crossover success seems imminent, as new mainstream radio stations continue to add the song to their playlists every week.

However, such crossover success seems imminent, as new mainstream radio stations continue to add the song to their playlists every week. Their next single "Everybody Cries" enjoyed minimal success. The song has managed to achieve this feat essentially on the strength of urban radio airplay alone as it has not yet had massive pop crossover success. Following a further break, they released "Being Nobody", a cover of Ain't Nobody produced by Richard X, which reached number three in the charts. 1 on the Hot 100. Their debut album, "Thinking It Over", was finally released followed by the remake single "Got To Have Your Love" and fifth single, the revamped "Holding On To You" which made them popular across Europe. It is Juvenile's and guest artist Soulja Slim's first No. A short break was followed by "Just A Little", the third single which launched them straight to the top of the UK charts.

The song topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart on August 7, 2004 knocking Usher's "Confessions" (part 2) out of number one after only two weeks. Their first two singles "Thinkin' It Over" and "Doin' It" launched them to fame. This summer, his Juve The Great album has spawned a massive hit called "Slow Motion". Liberty have sunk back into obscurity while Liberty X continue to have a successful career. He has released a total of nine albums. The judge agreed with (the original) Liberty and so the new group renamed themselves as Liberty X. His latest album is Juve The Great(2004). Liberty (original) claimed that Liberty (now X) were taking advantage of the goodwill that they had created in the name Liberty (which in English Law is the tort of passing off).

Juvenile returned to Cash Money in 2003. After a few months Liberty received a legal challenge in the UK High Court from another pop group called Liberty which had had a few minor hits in the 1980s. After the lackluster reception of The G-Code and Project English (2001), which only contained the very minor hit single, "From Your Momma", Juvenile left Cash Money Records, releasing The Compilation in 2002 with the UTP (Uptown Project Playas) crew. The five winning contestants formed a pop group called Hear'Say, and the five runners up (who would have been the "backup" had something gone wrong with Hear'Say) later formed the group Liberty, the name being intended to reflect the freedom they supposedly enjoy from rigid record company control (in contrast to Hear'Say); however, their runner-up status led to them being dubbed "Flopstars" by some commentators. Warlock Records released a remixed version of Being Myself at the same time. Liberty X are a pop group formed from five contestants from the UK TV show Popstars. In 1999, Solja Rags was re-released nationally to ride the wave of popularity Juvenile was enjoying with the release of 400 Degreez and its smash lead single, "Back That Ass Up", which eventually became a pop crossover hit in early 2000.
