The List of Juvenile Albums in Order of Release Date

Before “Back That Azz Up” became a permanent fixture at every wedding reception and cookout in America, Juvenile was just a teenager out of New Orleans’ Magnolia Projects trying to turn bounce music into something the whole country would dance to — and he pulled it off. Born Terius Gray in 1975, the Southern hip-hop pioneer debuted in 1995 with “Being Myself” and, within three years, had reshaped what a New Orleans rap record could sound like on a national stage. This list of Juvenile Albums in Order traces that entire evolution, from raw bounce-rap beginnings through his Cash Money glory years and into his independent UTP era.

Juvenile’s catalog includes signature hits like “Ha,” “Back That Azz Up,” and the chart-topping “Slow Motion,” along with a Billboard Award, multiple platinum certifications, and a discography that has sold north of 10 million albums worldwide. His run alongside Hot Boys labelmates Lil Wayne, B.G., and Turk helped put artists like Mannie Fresh and an entire regional sound on the map, drawing natural comparisons to peers like B.G. and Lil Wayne, both of whom appear throughout this Juvenile Albums in Order timeline. Here’s the complete list of Juvenile albums in order of release date.

All Juvenile Albums List in Order


1. Being Myself (1995)

Juvenile Album Being Myself image

Tracks:

  1. Intro
  2. Betcha’ 20 Dollars [Bounce II]
  3. What Cha Gotta Do
  4. G-Ing Men
  5. Powder Bag
  6. Pass Azz ‘Nigga
  7. U Can’t C Me
  8. Shake Dat Azz
  9. Somethin’ I Forgot/I Blowed
  10. Sling It to Tha Back
  11. Conversation With the Man Above
  12. Shout Out
  13. Radio Dial

Juvenile was only 19 when Warlock Records put out his debut, and it shows a rapper still finding his footing between New Orleans bounce and straight gangsta rap. Producer Leroy “Precise” Edwards built the record around the call-and-response energy that made bounce parties work, rather than chasing radio polish. It never charted nationally, but locally it moved enough units to catch the attention of an up-and-coming label called Cash Money Records. Tracks like “Shake Dat Azz” and “Conversation With the Man Above” hint at the two sides of Juvenile’s persona — party-starter and street reporter — that would define his career. Critically, it’s remembered less for its songs and more as the audition tape that got him signed.

 

2. Solja Rags (1997)

Solja Rags Album Image

 

Tracks:

  1. Ziggly Wiggly
  2. Solja Rag
  3. I Did That
  4. Roll With ‘Em
  5. Pimpinabitch
  6. Livin’ in Tha Project
  7. Who’s Tha M.F.
  8. Hide Out or Ride Out
  9. Spittin’ Game
  10. 3rd Ward Solja
  11. Welcome 2 Tha Section
  12. Money on the Couch
  13. That’s How It Be Happenin
  14. Solja Rag (Radio)

This was Juvenile’s first release as a signed Cash Money artist, and it marked a real shift from the bounce-heavy debut toward harder, storytelling-driven rap production courtesy of in-house beatmaker Mannie Fresh. It sold over 200,000 copies independently before Cash Money’s national distribution deal even existed, proof that the New Orleans underground was already hungry for this sound. The album also functioned as a team-building exercise for the label, bringing in future Hot Boys members Lil Wayne, B.G., and Turk for guest spots and laying the skit-heavy, character-driven blueprint that “400 Degreez” would later perfect. The title track “Solja Rag” became a genuine regional anthem and would later be sampled on “Ha.”

 

3. 400 Degreez (1998)

Juvenile Album 400 Degreez image

Tracks:

  1. Intro (Big Tymers)
  2. Ha
  3. Gone Ride with Me
  4. Flossin’ Season
  5. Ghetto Children
  6. Follow Me Now
  7. Cash Money Concert (skit)
  8. Welcome 2 tha Nolia
  9. U.P.T.
  10. Run for It
  11. Ha (Hot Boys Remix)
  12. Rich Niggaz
  13. Back That Azz Up
  14. Off Top
  15. After Cash Money Concert (skit)
  16. 400 Degreez
  17. Juvenile on Fire
  18. Ha (Remix)

This is the record that turned Juvenile into a national name and, with it, put Cash Money Records and New Orleans rap firmly on the map. Released through Cash Money and Universal, and produced top to bottom by Mannie Fresh, “400 Degreez” fused bounce’s syncopated energy with radio-ready hooks in a way no prior Southern rap album had quite managed. It debuted the twin singles “Ha” and “Back That Azz Up,” the latter of which is still one of the most recognizable hip-hop hooks of its era. The album eventually went 4x Platinum, remaining Juvenile’s best-selling solo project to date, and its influence on later Southern hip-hop — from the ad-libs to the piano-and-bass production style — is still audible in the region’s music today.

 

4. Tha G-Code (1999)

Juvenile Album Tha G-Code image

Tracks:

  1. Big Tymer (Intro)
  2. U Understand
  3. F*ck That N*gga
  4. A Million and One Things
  5. Take Them
  6. G-Code
  7. Something Got 2 Shake
  8. Da Magnolia
  9. Catch Your Cut
  10. Lil’ Boyz
  11. Get It Right
  12. Never Had Sh*t
  13. I Got That Fire
  14. Tha Man
  15. March N*gga Step
  16. Guerrilla

Coming exactly one year after “400 Degreez,” Juvenile had to prove the breakout wasn’t a fluke, and “Tha G-Code” mostly delivered, entering at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales north of 290,000 copies. Mannie Fresh again handled every beat, keeping the electro-funk bounce sound intact while Juvenile leaned harder into the “rules to live by” framing that gives the album its title. Singles “U Understand” and “I Got That Fire” kept the momentum going, and the record was certified Platinum within weeks of release. Critics were more divided than they’d been on its predecessor — some called it a “wicked gangsta-rap gumbo,” others found it a step down — but commercially it cemented Juvenile as Cash Money’s most consistent hitmaker of the era.

 

5. Project English (2001)

Juvenile Album Project English image

Tracks:

  1. Intro-Let’s Roll
  2. Set It Off
  3. H.B. HeadBusta
  4. 4 Minutes
  5. My Life
  6. Get Your Hustle On
  7. Sunshine
  8. Be Gone
  9. Mamma Got Ass
  10. They Lied
  11. White Girl
  12. In Ya Ass
  13. Set It Off (Radio Remix)
  14. In the Nolia
  15. What U Scared 4
  16. Outro-Let’s Go

By 2001, Cash Money’s internal frictions were starting to show, and “Project English” arrived as one of Juvenile’s final full efforts for the label before a temporary split. Mannie Fresh again supplied every beat, but the album’s energy feels slightly more guarded than the two records before it, trading some of the exuberant bounce for tighter, streetwise storytelling. Lead single “Set It Off” and follow-up “Mamma Got Ass” both peaked at the same spot on the Hot 100, an odd coincidence that became a talking point among fans at the time. The album still moved enough copies to earn a Gold certification and a No. 2 debut on the Billboard 200, proving Juvenile’s commercial pull hadn’t slipped even as his relationship with Cash Money grew tense behind the scenes.

 

6. Juve the Great (2003)

Juvenile Album Juve the Great image

Tracks:

  1. Intro
  2. In My Life
  3. Enemy Turf
  4. Outside (skit)
  5. Bounce Back
  6. Down South Posted
  7. It Ain’t Mines
  8. Numb Numb
  9. Lil’ Daddy
  10. Fuckin’ with Me
  11. Cock It
  12. Club (skit)
  13. Juve the Great
  14. Head in Advance
  15. For Everybody
  16. At the Door (skit)
  17. Slow Motion

After a brief detour to launch his own UTP Playas collective, Juvenile returned to Cash Money for “Juve the Great,” which turned out to be his farewell release on the label. It’s best remembered now for closing track “Slow Motion,” a hypnotic collaboration with fellow Magnolia Projects native Soulja Slim, who was tragically shot and killed weeks before the album dropped and never lived to see the song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Beyond that single, the record is a noticeably atypical entry in Juvenile’s catalog, mixing outside producers in for the first time since his debut rather than relying solely on Mannie Fresh. It went Platinum, becoming his third album to do so, and gave him one of the biggest commercial peaks of his entire career even as reviewers called it a transitional, if interesting, record.

 

7. Reality Check (2006)

Juvenile Album Reality Check image

Tracks:

  1. Intro
  2. Get Ya Hustle On
  3. Around the Way
  4. Sets Go Up
  5. Rodeo
  6. What’s Happenin
  7. Loose Booty
  8. Way I Be Leanin
  9. Break a Brick Down
  10. Who’s Ya Daddy
  11. I Know You Know
  12. Keep Talkin
  13. Rock Like That
  14. Why Not
  15. Animal
  16. Addicted
  17. Holla Back
  18. Pop U
  19. Say It to Me Now

Freed from Cash Money and newly signed to UTP and Atlantic Records, Juvenile used “Reality Check” as a genuine reintroduction, and it worked: the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 174,000 copies sold in its opening week. The most striking cut is “Get Ya Hustle On,” a pointed critique of the government’s Hurricane Katrina response written in the aftermath of the storm destroying his own Slidell, Louisiana home. Guest turns from Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Fat Joe, and Ludacris broadened his sound beyond New Orleans, while lead single “Rodeo” and the Mike Jones-assisted “Way I Be Leanin'” kept the club appeal intact. Certified Gold and generally well-reviewed, it stands as the high point of his post-Cash Money career and proof that an independent Juvenile could still top the charts.

 

8. Cocky & Confident (2009)

Juvenile Album Cocky & Confident

Tracks:

  1. Cocky & Confident
  2. Gotta Get It
  3. Back Back
  4. We Be Getting Money
  5. My Money Don’t Fold
  6. Feeling Right
  7. Top of the Line
  8. Make U Feel Alright
  9. It’s All Hood
  10. New Orleans Stunna
  11. All Over You
  12. You Can’t Stop Me
  13. Break It Down
  14. I’m Out Chere
  15. I’m Shining
  16. I Say
  17. Everything
  18. Hands On You
  19. Listen

Three years removed from the commercial peak of “Reality Check,” Juvenile leaned into a younger crop of collaborators for “Cocky & Confident,” bringing in Dorrough, Shawty Lo, Rico Love, and Pleasure P alongside longtime Cash Money ally B.G. The result is a noticeably more mixtape-flavored record, produced largely by newer names like Mouse, Precise, and S-8ighty rather than Mannie Fresh. It only reached No. 49 on the Billboard 200, a steep drop from his earlier chart runs, and it ended up being his last release through Atlantic Records. Reviewers were split — some praised the willingness to experiment, others felt Juvenile was chasing trends rather than setting them — but “Feeling Right” and “Top of the Line” remain fan-favorite deep cuts from this stretch of his catalog.

 

9. Beast Mode (2010)

Juvenile Album Beast Mode image

Tracks:

  1. Go Hard or Go Home
  2. Drop That Thang
  3. Bitch Instructions
  4. La La La La La
  5. I’m da Man
  6. Nothing Like Me
  7. No Team
  8. Drinks on Me
  9. Pussy Kat
  10. Where They Do that At
  11. Lights, Camera, Action

Released less than a year after “Cocky & Confident” through UTP and E1 Entertainment, “Beast Mode” is Juvenile’s leanest studio album, clocking in at under 40 minutes across just 11 tracks. He explicitly avoided loading it up with guest features this time, opting to let his own voice and a tighter, in-house production team of S-8ighty, C. Smith, Sinista, and Raw Smoov carry the record. Lead single “Drop That Azz” gave the project its most club-ready moment, though the album’s overall reception was middling, landing mixed marks from outlets like AllMusic and HipHopDX and only reaching No. 58 on the Billboard 200. It’s a transitional record in his catalog — smaller in scope, less commercially ambitious — bridging his Atlantic years to the fully independent UTP releases that followed.

 

10. Rejuvenation (2012)

Juvenile Album Rejuvenation image

Tracks:

  1. Rejuvenation
  2. Power
  3. Can’t Stop My Money
  4. Mardi Grass
  5. Lost My Mind
  6. Imma Get Rich
  7. Fall Back
  8. Bad Guy
  9. Ahh Haa
  10. I’m Yo People
  11. Got It Like That
  12. Still Here
  13. Ain’t What You Want
  14. Toast to the Good Life

Recorded in Houston and released through UTP alongside Young Empire and Fontana Distribution, “Rejuvenation” was Juvenile’s attempt to reset the narrative after a rocky few years, and the title says as much. A surprise cultural assist helped: Drake’s “Practice,” which interpolated “Back That Azz Up,” put Juvenile’s name back in circulation right as this album was coming together, and he leaned into the momentum with lead single “Power” featuring Rick Ross. The guest list also brought in Houston heavyweights Z-Ro and Trae tha Truth, broadening his regional footprint beyond New Orleans. Production came from a mix of Mannie Fresh, S-8ighty, Drumma Boy, and others, and while the album only climbed to No. 39 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, tracks like “Mardi Gras” became durable staples of his live shows for years afterward.

 

11. The Fundamentals (2014)

Juvenile Album The Fundamentals image

Tracks:

  1. Pay Tha Rent
  2. Close Around
  3. Cradle 2 da Grave
  4. Kill Kill
  5. Let Em Know
  6. All Over
  7. Live Wire
  8. Super High
  9. Tales from the Hood
  10. This Is Your Song

Released through J. Prince’s Rap-A-Lot Records, “The Fundamentals” marked a label change and a noticeably stripped-down approach, with Juvenile serving as executive producer alongside Prince himself. At just over 34 minutes, it’s his shortest studio album, built around dependable street-rap songwriting rather than any obvious reinvention. The Young Jeezy and Yo Gotti-assisted opener “Pay Tha Rent” became the record’s most-streamed and most-discussed cut, even as the album overall drew mixed reviews — AllMusic found enough hooks to recommend it to longtime fans, while other outlets felt it didn’t live up to the title’s promise. Commercially modest, peaking at No. 47 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, it nonetheless closed out a full decade of Juvenile albums before a long recording hiatus.

12. Boiling Point (2026)

Tracks:

  1. Boiling Point Intro (feat. Birdman)
  2. Lenny Kravitz (feat. Mannie Fresh)
  3. Drop The Location
  4. Pay Me
  5. You Mad (feat. Swizz Beatz)
  6. Juvie Beverly (feat. B.G., Birdman & Roi “Chip” Anthony)
  7. Hot Boy Summer (feat. B.G., Jacquees & Trombone Shorty)
  8. Interlude – Doze Off

  10. Hot of The Hottest (feat. Young Juve)
  11. B.B.B.
  12. Meph Town
  13. Pull Up (feat. Birdman, Lil Bryan & GoodFella)
  14. Fuego (feat. DJ Khaled)
  15. WYM (Woah) (feat. Akeem Ali & C GuTTA)
  16. Neva Go Broke
  17. One More Round
  18. He Gone
  19. Yea Yea Yea Yeah (feat. Timbaland)
  20. B.B.B.

Arriving on his birthday after a full decade away from a solo studio album, “Boiling Point” is Juvenile’s genuine comeback record, following a year spent touring with Birdman, B.G., and Mannie Fresh on the Cash Money Millionaires 30th Anniversary run. Released through UTP, DNA Music, and Hitmaker Distro, the project reunites him with Cash Money-era collaborators while also pulling in a strikingly modern guest list that includes DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, Jacquees, and Trombone Shorty. Its breakout moment came from “B.B.B.,” which went viral on TikTok before an official remix featuring Megan Thee Stallion pushed it to No. 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 — his first Hot 100 entry since “Rodeo” back in 2006. Early response has framed “Boiling Point” as proof that Juvenile’s voice still translates to a streaming-era audience, and it kicked off an extensive Boiling Point Tour across the U.S. and Canada.

All Juvenile Tours in Order by Year

Juvenile has stayed a reliable live draw for three decades, mixing his early Cash Money hits with whatever era he’s currently promoting. His 2025 run alongside Birdman, B.G., and Mannie Fresh reintroduced an entire generation to the Hot Boys sound before New Orleans crowds and beyond, setting the stage for the larger headlining trek that followed once “Boiling Point” dropped in 2026.

  1. Hot Boys Tour Dates, 1999–2000
  2. UTP/Reality Check Tour, 2006
  3. Cash Money Millionaires 30th Anniversary Tour, 2025

Conclusion

From the raw bounce experiments of “Being Myself” to the Platinum-selling run of “400 Degreez” and “Tha G-Code,” through the independent hustle of the UTP years, and now into a genuine 2026 comeback, this list of Juvenile Albums in Order tells the story of one of Southern hip-hop’s most durable careers. Few artists from the Cash Money golden era have managed to stay commercially relevant across four decades, and “Boiling Point” suggests Juvenile isn’t done yet — with a new tour running through the year and a catalog still finding new fans through samples, remixes, and streaming rediscovery.
