The former Cash Money rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday (May 30) to share the news, revealing he’ll be hitting over 60 cities across North America.

Back in March, he released a long-overdue music video for the project’s title track.

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 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 also peppered throughout the clip, along with more recent shots of Juvie and Mannie performing on stage.
Juvenile is also set to reunite with fellow Hot Boys Lil Wayne, B.G. and Turk on stage in their native New Orleans this summer.
Addressing fans on Instagram Live earlier this month, he confirmed that they would be performing with Birdman at Essence Fest in July as part of the Cash Money mogul’s 30th anniversary set.
