about
Terius Gray (born March 26, 1975), known professionally as Juvenile, is an American rapper best known for his work with Birdman's Cash Money Records in the late 1990s and early 2000s, both solo and as a member of the label's then-flagship group, Hot Boys. Juvenile's career began in the early 1990s as a teenager with bounce music recordings that earned him local recognition. After releasing his debut studio album—Being Myself (1995)—to regional success, he signed with Cash Money and saw his mainstream breakthrough with his second and third albums, Solja Rags (1997) and 400 Degreez (1998). The latter peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200, received quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and was supported by the singles "Ha" and "Back That Azz Up" (featuring Mannie Fresh and Lil Wayne)—his first Billboard Hot 100 entries. He released three subsequent albums—Tha G-Code (1999), Project English (2001) and Juve the Great (2003)—for the label to continued success, the latter of which spawned the 2004 single "Slow Motion" (featuring Soulja Slim), which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and became his only song to do so. Following his departure from Cash Money, Juvenile briefly signed with Atlantic Records. His seventh album, Reality Check (2006) debuted atop the Billboard 200, and was followed by Cocky & Confident (2009). He then independently released the albums Beast Mode (2010), Rejuvenation (2012), and The Fundamentals (2014
