Juvenile & B.G. Talk Cash Money & No Limit Tour, New Orleans Rap History & ‘Ha’ Music Video

The Cash Money & No Limit Tour kicks off today, and we had Juvenile and B.G. stop by the Billboard offices in New York City recently to talk about how this New Orleans rap dream tour came about.

By the time Juvenile shook up the game with the song and music video for “Ha,” B.G.’s sophomore album Chopper City was already considered a classic in New Orleans and surrounding areas.

“We were supposed to do the Magnolia Landlords with me, him and Boosie , but I got caught up and I don’t like to put anything out,” Juvenile said after I asked if they have anything in the works.
