As a reminder that 1999 belonged to Cash Money Records, the label's most popular Hot Boy has released his third album just in time for the millennium. In true Cash Money fashion, only five out of the 16 songs are Juvey solos. The rest are duets with other members of the Cash Money camp.
Mannie Fresh (also in true Cash Money fashion) produced the whole album so the music definitely has that dirty south bounce to it. As for Juvey's approach, nothing has changed from the last album. Tha G-Code includes similar lyrics about life, crime, and women in New OrleansΓÇÖ Magnolia projects. He does switch his flow a little on cuts like the first release "U Understand"; "Catch Your Cut" (where he trades stutter-step flows with B.G.); and "Lil' Boyz" (where Juvenile opens every line with an infectious "you lil' boys..." ).
Another cut to check is "March N--ga Step," which sounds like a remix of his 1998 flagship hit "Ha." Juvenile uses the same beat and the same flow. The only difference is that he does not punctuate each sentence with "ha."
Juvenile gives you what you expect, and that seems to work for this album.
