"Keeping it real" has long since become a clich� in hip-hop vernacular, but New Orleans-based gangsta rapper Juvenile doesn't really know any other way to keep it. While the former Hot Boys MC rose to prominence on the Crescent City's Cash Money label, 2006's REALITY CHECK finds him on a major with his street credentials fully intact. In fact, Juvenile is as angry and brash here as ever, saving his most blunt lyrical cudgels for the Bush administration and post-Katrina politico hustlers. The album's three singles--"Animal," "Rodeo," and "Get Ya Hustle On"--already make REALITY CHECK a winner, but the rest of the disc holds up to the promise of those stand-out tracks.
Rolling Stone (p.62) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he fire in this enraged Cajun's gut results in a fierce, focused album."
New Orleans rapper Juvenile signed to Cash Money Records in the late 1990s. His confident rhyming and solid beats quickly found a strong following, leading to success as a solo act and as a member of the Hot Boys. In addition to music, Juvenile has also dabbled in the world of acting with appearances in films such as HOOD ANGELS.
