New Orleans rapper Juvenile, whose fifth album “Juve The Great” was just certified gold, has entered into a joint venture with Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince. Once home to the Geto Boys, Rap-A-Lot is a blueprint of success for any independent label.
Juvenile and Prince will release new artists affiliated with Juvenile including Skip and Wacko. The album is to be released shortly, featuring Juve rapping with his friends. It will be followed by an album from the new group, Partners n Crime.
“This venture is a new way for me to experience the record business, executive producing, with J, new acts. I’m spreading out in my career. I produced a number of cuts on “Juve the Great,” and worked with some great new artists, including with Wacko and Skip on a great cut in that album, “Down South Posted.” I want to work with new artists as an entrepreneur, while at the same time touring and continuing to support my Cash Money album, “Juve the Great.” I’m real pleased its doin’ so great- the second single- “Bounce Back,” has just been released nationally to radio and the video off the albums first single, “In My Life” is now in heavy rotation on MTV and BET. I’m excited to produce and spread my involvement. To do all this, I need a great partner in the new activity, and J, with his business skills, is just the person I need!”
