E1 Music is happy to announce the release of Beast Mode, the new street album by hip hop superstar Juvenile. Beast Mode will be released on July 6, 2010 on UTP/E1 Music and features the street single, Drop That Azz.

Juvenile comments, “The main reason for putting out this record in the summer is that it’s a summer album.  I made this album for my fans, especially for my female fans out there.”

The New Orleans legend came to national prominence as a teenage member of the Hot Boy$, along with Lil Wayne, B.G. and Turk. The group’s 1997 debut, Get It How U Live, was followed by their platinum record Guerilla Warfare. Juvenile’s major label solo debut, 400 Degreez, 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.

After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Juvenile released Reality Check, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. The album featured the hit songs, Way I Be Leanin’ (ft. Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Skip & Wacko) and Get Ya Hustle On/What’s Happenin’.

Beast Mode is the follow up to Juvenile’s last album, Cocky and Confident, which was released last year on UTP/Atlantic/E1 Music.
