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. Discography
