400 Degreez
by Juvenile
The 417th greatest album of all time
400 Degreez is Juvenile's 1998 album that exemplifies late 1990s Southern hip hop and New Orleans bounce, with production largely from Mannie Fresh. It pairs Juvenile's gravelly, conversational delivery and street-focused lyrics with uptempo bounce rhythms, heavy low end, sharp drum programming, and chantable hooks, balancing gritty narratives and club-ready tracks like Back That Azz Up. The record helped define the Cash Money Records sound and is often cited for its regional production style and memorable vocal cadences.
