Juvenile Gives Us The Main Ingredients For Upcoming 'Cocky And Confident'

via Hip Hop DX

The regionally-focused sound found on Juvenile’s new LP was supplied by the in-house beatmakers from his Beats & Hooks Production Company (which houses trackmasters S8ighty, Precise and C. Smith). The firm founded by Kango Slim of veteran New Orleans duo Partners-N-Crime (B&H’s creator is also the crew’s in-house hook writer) sell their sonic and scribe services to various artists, having recently crafted both beat and hook for C-Ride and T-Pain’s “Money Round Here,” and maybe most notably of late contributed the hook to Lil Boosie’s “Better Believe It.”

In addition to contributions from Beats & Hooks, Juve himself produced two songs for Cocky & Confident.

Mannie Fresh crafted 10 tracks for the disc, two of which made the tentative tracklisting. But Juve warned, “We ain’t too sure if those two gon’ make it ‘cause we steady doing other songs right now.”

Cocky & Confident is led by two singles in the bass-heavy grindin’ anthem “Gotta Get It” and the radio-ready nod to the ladies “Hands On You” featuring Pleasure P, which follow the previous leaking earlier this year of album cuts “My Money Don’t Fold.”

The album is heralded by two singles: the sizzling album track, "Gotta Get It," currently #47 and growing at urban radio, and "Hands On You (Feat. Pleasure P)," impacting now at Rhythmic radio outlets nationwide, having already been the #1 most added new track at Crossover.

"COCKY AND CONFIDENT" follows Juvenile's "REALITY CHECK," which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 upon its March 2006 release. This new album sees the acclaimed MC collaborating with a stellar line-up of guest performers, including Pleasure P, Kango Slim, Bobby V, Rico Love, B.G., Dorrough, and Q Corvette. Among the producers are such studio superstars as S-8ighty, Mouse, Precise, Lu Balz, C. Smith and of course, Juvenile.

"Cocky and Confident" is Juvenile's second Atlantic album, and E1 Records is adding its hip hop marketing muscle to the release, confident in the continuation of the extraordinary success of this great artist from New Orleans' Magnolia Projects.
