Juvenile Celebrates 25 years of 400 Degreez & Back that Azz Up
Marcelo Unda • June 15, 2023
25 years ago, Juvenile releases one of the ultimate bangers of my generation. Back that Azz Up is the one song that will immediately take you back to where you were when you first heard this song. I remember the days getting home from school and turning on MTV to watch TRL. Something that this generation doesn't understand on how we had to listen to music back in the day. You either had the small CD player/radio your mom got you from Walmart, a portable CD player you would bring to school with you along with a case with all of your CDs in it. There was an anti-skip feature for a smooth listen while it was in your pocket. Fast Forward today, I can tell my speaker to play this song on command. Back That Azz Up currently has 169,731,491 streams on Spotify.

Yeah, there was some songs in the past that featured lyrics similar on the topic, but they were never as RAW as Juvenile and the Cash Money crew were able to produced. I am not from New Orleans, but I can appreciate the influence and the impact it had to the people and the city.
Juvenile celebrates the 25th anniversary by announcing a show at the Howard Theatre in D.C. on June 14th.
Juvi looks to be living his best life in the Nation's Capital.

After a weather-delayed kickoff, loyal NOLA Gold fans were treated to a rollercoaster of a match that ended with a well-earned 44-36 victory over the Seattle Seawolves at the Shrine. This win moved NOLA Gold into 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings. Coach Danny Lee said of the team's response to the delay, “We just had to control the controllables. Once we told the boys the definitive time for kickoff, we had a plan ready to go. In terms of game plan, we had to be a little bit more direct, and we had to kick and adapt quickly.” NOLA Gold set the tone early, taking an initial 3-0 lead thanks to a steady penalty kick from Dorian Jones. Though Seattle answered quickly with a try to make it 7-3, the Gold launched into a dominant scoring stretch. Isaac Te Tamaki powered across the try line to ignite the offense, followed by back-to-back tries from the relentless Jonah Mau’u. Jones continued to add points from the tee, stretching the Gold’s lead to 27-7. Just before halftime, the Seawolves found a breakthrough and scored at the buzzer, narrowing the margin to 27-14. However, NOLA emerged from the locker room with purpose. Xavier Mignot wasted no time reestablishing momentum with a try that pushed the lead to 34-14. Seattle fought back with intensity, capitalizing on back-to-back tries to bring the score to 34-24. But NOLA responded with composure, as Jones added another penalty to keep the visitors at bay, 37-24. The closing stages of the match saw both teams exchanging blows. Seattle’s try was met by a decisive moment from Joe Taufete’e, who muscled through defenders for a critical score. Luke Campbell’s conversion extended the lead to 44-29. Though Seattle scored one final try at the buzzer, it wasn’t enough. With a final score of 44-36, NOLA Gold walked away with a crucial five-point win in front of a roaring home crowd and strengthens their postseason hopes with a firm grip on 3rd place in the East. Their next match will be on the road against the San Diego Legion on May 4th at 4:00 PM CT. For tickets and more details, please visit www.nolagoldrugby.com
