Juvenile has proven that classics never go out of style, as the ex-Hot Boys MC has celebrated his official video for “400 Degreez” reaching one million views in less than three days.
Juvie took to his Instagram on Friday (March 29) to make the announcement of the achievement, and couldn’t have been more thrilled about it.

“1 million views!!! @manniefresh the video gone platinum already on @youtube thank you to the fans !!” he wrote in the caption. “Drop [four fire emojis] in the comments to let us know how hot you think it is and if you haven’t go on YouTube and type in Juvenile 400 Degreez.”
Check out the post below.
The Diesel Filmz-directed clip opens with a message that reads: “On November 3, 1998, Juvenile released his 3rd album album 400 Degreez. The album went on to be certified 4x platinum having sold over 4 million copies.
“This groundbreaking album remains Juvenile’s best-selling project of his solo career. This visual is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of this monumental achievement.”

From there, the New Orleans rap legend can be seen linking up with former Cash Money cohort Mannie Fresh — who produced the entirety of 400 Degreez — while two video vixens whip up a birthday cake for the album.
Throwback footage from the 400 Degreez era is peppered throughout the clip, along with more recent shots of Juvie and Mannie performing.

To celebrate the album’s quarter-century anniversary, Juvenile reissued 400 Degreez with a digital deluxe edition on Friday (March 29), with a double LP color vinyl to follow on April 26.
The reissue will feature two new tracks, “Party” and “We Be Blowing Money.”

The late ’90s nostalgia may continue as Juvie recently offered a positive update on the proposed Hot Boys reunion tour featuring himself, Lil Wayne, Turk and the recently-freed B.G.
When asked about the tour in an interview with TMZ, he said: “No negativity from me, man. You know, with me, I’m always like, ‘It’s gon’ happen.’ It’s gonna happen. We gotta let them simmer down a little bit. But trust me though, it’s happening.”
Despite Juvenile’s optimism, there have been issues between B.G. and Lil Wayne since the former’s release from prison late last year.
While Wayne has yet to address B.G.’s diss in the song “Gangstafied,” he has spoken about a Hot Boys reunion tour and revealed there’s one thing holding it up.

“We’ve spoken about it a few times but, you know, they have situations. Like B.G. just coming home so he gotta figure out: can he tour? Can he travel? And things like that,” Weezy said on YG‘s 4HUNNID Podcast.
“Juvie ready and Turk ready, but really we gotta see if Geezy can move around … Everybody got their own record label, their own situation. Nobody ain’t tied down to nothing. So when we asked everybody, they were like, ‘Yeah, we can jump on whenever.’ We just gotta get Geezy right.”
