Juvenile's latest album Rejuvenation features Rick Ross and collaborations with Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled and Drake. The rapper is known for his incendiary live shows, which bring his signature New Orleans style to the stage. “Back That Thang Up” is usually the song that gets the audience up and dancing, but ticket buyers can expect him to perform a good smattering of hits throughout his career during a concert. He nails his vintage hits, like “Set It Off,” and mixes up his classics with newer stuff, like the bass-thumping “Mardi Gras,” “They Sleeping On Me” and “Power,” his newest single with Rick Ross. He’ll have you waving your arms back and forth as he marches across the stage with his posse behind him, backing him up.
Juvenile, born Terius Gray, has been rapping since he was 19 and quickly gained popularity in New Orleans and the surrounding areas for his quirky style and infectious rhythms. His 1999 single, “Back That Thang Up,” paved his way to stardom, and the No. 1 hit, “Slow Motion,” pushed him further into the limelight. Working with Lil Wayne and the Hot Boys, he helped create the New Orleans “bounce” craze in the 90s, and his gangster rap steadily matured into a record deal with Atlantic and chart-topping hits as a solo artist. His 2006 album Reality Check, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, was recorded in part at a New Orleans studio that was flattened by Hurricane Katrina. He recorded the catchy hip hop anthem, “Get Ya Hustle On,” as a criticism on the way the Bush Administration handled the Katrina disaster. Juvenile, a southern hip-hop veteran, continues to drop fresh beats and stun crowds when on tour.
One of the best and entertaining concerts ever!! From beginning to end I was on my feet reciting all of the lyrics.
Juvie killed it at this show! He didn't miss a beat. Sound was great, energy was great, supporting artists were great. Mannie Fresh looks like the happiest person on the planet when he's up there doing what he loves! Would love to see a larger-scale Cash Money show with the rest of the crew from 99-00 included. I also enjoyed the venue. Plenty of bar room gave easy access when you needed some refreshment. Getting in and out was as painless as could be expected. If I had to list a "con"- it would be that they played some CM songs that featured Juvenile and cut them off at or before his parts came up. Was looking forward to the #1 Stunna verse, but they cut the song right when it got there. Wasn't enough to drop a star, but would have been icing on the cake.
The show was fine once he finally came out. Why do so many of these artists waste our time by coming out 1+ hours late? I didn't pay money to listen to some dj for over an hour. It's getting ridiculous.
Had a great time met him and his son was balling till we meet again
It was EPIC! Solid vibes with a great crowd mix. Drinks were great and service friendly
Blacked out stage with a dj playing a snippet of each song for 2 hours (no opening act). Juvenile comes out, stage is so blacked out, he is lip syncing. He lip synced every song. We left after 30 minutes.
I loved it I just wish the Hotboys was there as well..
He gave a veryyyy good performance great band great stage presence. Only thing I didn’t like was that the doors opened at 7 he didn’t perform until 940ish maybe should’ve had local artist someone performing while we waiting on him.
It was dope to see someone I loved as a kid! He had great energy and stage presence and ran through all the Cash Money hits! The band was amazing as well. Great show and worth being tired at work the next day.
Sound in the first half of show was bad. You couldn’t hear anything but drums
