Mannie Fresh Speaks On The Making Of Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up” (Video)
February 20, 2019
How much of a classic is Juve’s hit “Back That Azz Up” though? Watch what happens when it plays at a party TODAY! Azzes WILL get to backing folks up! Right from “Cash Money Records taking over for the ’99 and the 2000” it is ON!
Watch super-producer of that hit, Mannie Fresh, talk about its creation. Genius! For real…
Back in 1998, Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up†introduced bounce music to the mainstream and helped Cash Money Records make a name for itself. The 400 Degreez track remains one of the New Orleans rapper’s biggest hits, peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. Production is handled by Mannie Fresh, who served as the architect of Cash Money’s signature sound from the early ’90s to mid-2000s.
