Terius Gray is better known by his stage name, Juvenile, and is an American hip-hop rapper from New Orleans, Lousiana.
Born on 25 March 1975, Juvenile first started rapping in the early 1990s. After signing with Warlock records in 1995, he released his debut album entitled “Being Myself.” Unfortunately, the album did not gain much national attention and did not chart, but did fairly well on a local level. However, it did bring more attention to labels, and as a result, Juvenile signed to Cash Money Records and released “Solja Rags” in 1997. Although the album saw some national success having made it onto the Billboard Hot R&B/ Hip-Hop Songs Chart, it saw most of its success with local rap audiences. Also in 1997, Juvenile joined the Hot Boys with fellow Cash Money rappers B.G., Turk, and Lil Wayne and together they released their debut album “Get It How U Live!”
Juvenile released his third solo album entitled “400 Degreez” in 1998 and it became his breakout album, having had the opportunity for a bigger market due to Cash Money Records gaining a joint distribution with Universal Records. Keeping up with the success of “400 Degreez,” he released “Tha G-Code” in 1999 and “Project English “ in 2001, both of which ended up becoming double certified platinum.
In 2005 Juvenile signed a new deal with Atlantic Records and released “Reality Check” in 2006. The album, which had debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, went on to become certified gold. By 2012 Juvenile released his tenth album, “Rejuvenation” which featured the single "Power" featuring Rick Ross. Juvenile collaborated with Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, and Drake.
