Juvenile, Mannie Fresh & Dee-1 – He Gone

Juvenile, a legendary rapper from New Orleans, has just released a new single called “He Gone,” which hit stores on September 26, 2025. The track marks a bit of a return for the Cash Money icon and serves as a preview of his upcoming album, Boiling Point, his first new solo release in a decade.

“He Gone” is a collaborative effort, featuring the notable Mannie Fresh and New Orleans rapper Dee-1. Mannie’s work offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the well-known energetic sound characteristic of New Orleans’ hip-hop scene from the 1990s and early 2000s. It functions surprisingly well in this location.

Their collaboration on “He Gone” with Mannie Fresh serves as a reunion, given their past success in producing iconic songs together. The most notable addition to their discography is “Back That Azz Up,” which has remained a party favorite for over 25 years following its release. The inclusion of Dee-1 in the song, a New Orleans rapper known for his verses with more religious themes, provides a compelling contrast as well. He and Juvie both deliver high-quality verses, with Juvie’s flow showing no signs of aging. It’s evident that being featured on Juvie’s comeback album held significant value for Dee-1, especially considering the effort he put into it.

The upcoming album Boiling Point from Juvie is highly anticipated by fans who have been waiting for the comeback of one of the most successful acts of the 2000s. The title is a nod to his influential album 400 Degreez, and he may seek to revisit that musical style. A specific release date for the complete album has not been disclosed, but issuing a single appears to be a positive move. For now, listen to “He Gone” below.
