HIP-HOP ROYALTY JUVENILE SLATED TO HEADLINE
AT ORLANDO’S KIA CENTER ON NOVEMBER 22
FOLLOWING FLORIDA’S BIGGEST HBCU WEEKEND
ORLANDO, FLORIDA [July, 2026] — Multi-platinum hip-hop icon Juvenile is set to headline on Sunday, November 22, at Orlando’s Kia Center. Joining Juvenile as special guests for this one-night-only performance includes Plies, Boosie and Pretty Ricky. Known for his distinctive nasal flow and “Magnolia” street slang, Juvenile will perform his legendary catalog of hits. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Tuesday, July 7, at 10 a.m. ET.
Born Terius Gray and raised in the Magnolia Housing Projects in New Orleans’ 3rd Ward, Juvenile rose from the grassroots bounce music scene to become the flagship artist of the legendary Cash Money Records in the late 1990s. With his melodic drawl and unrivaled rhythmic delivery, he redefined the landscape of mainstream rap. Recognized as one of the chief architects of Southern hip-hop, he had an outsized influence on the genre. He popularized the infectious cadences, syncopated bounce rhythms and Southern slang that have since become standard elements of modern trap and mainstream rap. His work with the Hot Boys, alongside a young Lil Wayne, helped establish a musical dynasty and his legacy continues to influence generations of artists.
Juvenile’s catalog stands as a framework for the modern rap era. His performance will feature a rotation of his most iconic work, including his definitive albums, four-time platinum “400 Degreez” (1998), which remains one of the most influential rap albums of all time, alongside chart-topping successes, “Tha G-Code” (1999) and “Reality Check (2006), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
Most recently, Juvenile completed a worldwide 400 Degreez Legacy Tour, featuring a full live band and orchestra, reimagining his hits for a modern audience. Last March, he was honored with a statue in the New Orleans Music Walk of Fame for his contributions to the city’s economic and cultural history.
Rapper Plies burst into the spotlight with his debut single, “Shawty,” featuring T-Pain, which became a massive hit, peaking in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a platinum certification. His 2007 debut studio album, “The Real Testament,” peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold and produced another major top 15 hit, “Hypnotized,” featuring Akon. In 2008, his sophomore album, “Definition of Real” debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and featured the top 10 hit “Bust It Baby Pt. 2,” featuring Ne-Yo. In 2011, he received a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for his guest feature on Young Jeezy’s hit single “Lose My Mind.”
Boosie is a definitive fixture of southern hip-hop, hailing from Baton Rouge, LA. He first gained traction in the late 1990s as the youngest member of the collective Concentration Camp. He broke into the national mainstream with his 2006 major-label debut “Bad Azz,” anchored by the hit single “Zoom,” cementing his status with the 2007 smash remix of “Wipe Me Down” and his appearance on Foxx’s chart-topping single “Independent,” one of the key members of the southern hip-hop movement. Renowned for his distinct, high-pitched delivery and deeply poignant, unfiltered storytelling, Boosie has built an incredibly prolific discography spanning over a dozen studio albums.
R&B and hip-hop group Pretty Ricky achieved major mainstream success in the mid-2000s by blending smooth R&B vocals with slick rap verses. They broke into the national spotlight with their 2005 debut studio album, “Bluestars,” which was certified gold and produced the platinum-selling, top-10 hit single “Grind With Me,” alongside the successful follow-up “Your Body.” In 2007, their second album, “Late Night Special,” debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, driven by the platinum success of the chart-topping single “On the Hotline.”
