At the age of 19, he began recording raps, releasing his debut album Being Myself in 1995.The album gave name to the southern rap style known as "bounce". The album was followed by Solja Rags in 1997; its underground popularity led to the major-label release of 400 Degreez in 1998. After releasing Tha G-Code in 1999 and Project English in 2001, Juvenile left Cash Money Records.

In 2003, he returned to Cash Money to record Juve the Great, spawning the number-one hit "Slow Motion". Juvenile then released Raw(2005). Then in 2006, he was signed to Atlantic Records, and he released Reality Check under that label.[1] He is set to release his latest album, which is the second album of his to be released on Atlantic Records, Cocky & Confident in 2009.

Juvenile is an American recording artist,(rapper) from New Orleans, Louisiana.In 1997, Solja Rags, Juvenile's debut with Cash Money Records, became popular among rap audiences.[1] Thus, Juvenile's next album 400 Degreez was re-released in 1998 with joint distribution by Universal Records, spawning his first single "Ha" and later "Back That Azz Up", both of which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.

However, there came a dispute over who owned the rights to the title of the song, as another New Orleans performer DJ Jubilee claimed that Juvenile's song sounded very similar to a song of his. In January 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans denied the case.

In 1999, capitalizing off Juvenile's popularity off 400 Degreez, a remixed version of Being Myself and reissue of Solja Rags were released.[1] Three more albums under Cash Money were released 400 Degreez in 1998, Tha G-Code in 1999 and Project English in 2001. Juvenile left Cash Money Records in 2002 to form his label, UTP Records.
