Mannie Fresh breaks down how he cooked up Juvenile’s classic “Back That Azz Up” single for Genius’ ‘Deconstructed’ series.

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.
