Juvenile has finally released a music video for his classic track “400 Degreez” to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album of the same name.
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 ground breaking 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.

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 his release from prison late last year.
Not long after his release, B.G. dissed his former groupmate on the song “Gangstafied,” rapping: “My n-gga Boosie went home and my dawg was steady blowing/ My n-gga Weezy steady touring but he’s bitch and it’s showing/ I’m still a living legend, don’t act like you didn’t know it.”
Attempting to clarify the line, B.G. later said: “Y’all don’t understand what the fuck be going on, you know what I’m saying? I tell a n-gga I love him and call him a bitch all in the same sentence. It’s family business, man.
“Shout out to my little brother Weezy. I spoke to my little brother last night. Shout out to shorty, man. Still my little bro. Love my little bro. This shit be complicated.”

While Wayne has yet to address B.G.’s diss, 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,” he 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.”
