Juvenile Gets "Cocky" With New Album

[props4pops]

UTP/Atlantic recording artist Juvenile has unveiled early details of
his eagerly awaited new album -- the New Orleans-based rapper's first
in over three years. "COCKY AND CONFIDENT" is scheduled for a November
17th, 2009 release at all physical and online retailers.

The album is heralded by two singles: the sizzling album track, "Gotta
Get It," currently #47 and growing at urban radio, and "Hands On You
(Feat. Pleasure P)," impacting now at Rhythmic radio outlets
nationwide, having already been the #1 most added new track at
Crossover.

"COCKY AND CONFIDENT" follows Juvenile's "REALITY CHECK," which
debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 upon its March 2006 release. This
new album sees the acclaimed MC collaborating with a stellar line-up
of guest performers, including Pleasure P, Kango Slim, Bobby V, Rico
Love, B.G., Dorrough, and Q Corvette. Among the producers are such
studio superstars as S-8ighty, Mouse, Precise, Lu Balz, C. Smith and
of course, Juvenile.

Juvenile came to national prominence as a teenager with the 1997 debut
of the HOT BOY$ (Juvenile, Lil Wayne, B.G. and Turk), "GET IT HOW U
LIVE," followed by the HOT BOY$ platinum record "GUERILLA WARFARE."
Juvenile's major label solo debut, "400 DEGREEZ," in 1998-99, sold 4.5
million records and is universally considered one of hip hop's
classics. Juvenile's three albums thereafter, "THA G-CODE" (1999),
"PROJECT ENGLISH" (2001), and "JUVE THE GREAT" (2003) were each
platinum plus, with the latter featuring the #1 smash single, "Slow
Motion."

Juvenile's UTP/Atlantic debut in 2006, after Hurricane Katrina, with
"REALITY CHECK," broke out of the box as the Number 1 album in the
country, highlighted by the RIAA gold certified single, "Rodeo," along
with such hip hop hits as "Way I Be Leanin' (Feat. Mike Jones, Paul
Wall, Skip, and Wacko)" and "Get Ya Hustle On/What's Happenin."
Written in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the latter track and its
powerful companion video directly addressed the governmental neglect
that the area and its citizens experienced in the months following the
monumental storm.

"Cocky and Confident" is Juvenile's second Atlantic album, and E1
Records is adding its hip hop marketing muscle to the release,
confident in the continuation of the extraordinary success of this
great artist from New Orleans' Magnolia Projects.
