There is no possible way to describe the music of Mexico’s newest musical sensation Juvee. Neither the rousing rhythms of reggaeton nor the up-tempo, dance-driven rhythms of native Mexican norteño music nor even the infectious beats and rhymes of hardcore rap can compare to this international superstar in the making. Juvee’s high-tempo hybrid style is all of those diverse genres plus so much more.
Setting himself apart from the pack, the singer/lyricist authentically blends southern-influenced hip-hop production and delivery with rhymes spat mostly in Spanish. He is gearing up to take the world by storm with his as-yet-untitled Third Degree Entertainment debut album. Juvee’s first high-octane lead single “Get Crazy,” which is spreading like wildfire across Texas and Mexicos' radio airwaves. Over an updated rendition of Newcleus’ early 80s break dance staple "Jam on Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)" and quirky new school synthesizers, Juvee harmonizes rapid-fire rhymes about having fun in the club.
“My music is American music in Spanish,” Juvee explains. “It’s different because I was influenced by all of the cumbia and Latin music in Mexico as much as the music here, so I just mix it all together.”
Known as Juvencio Requena, Juvee was born into poverty in the border town of Piedras Negras Coahuila, Mexico. Coming up was an everyday struggle.
“It was hard in Mexico. There are a lot of struggles,” he says. “We lived in a wooden shack and there was times when we didn’t have enough money to buy food.”
To escape the extreme deprivation, his family relocated to Texas when Juvee was 16 in search of better jobs and more opportunities. He got his first taste of rap and R&B as soon as they landed in the great state of Texas. He was instantly hooked.
“We didn’t have hip hop music in Mexico when I was growing up,” says Juvee. “When I came to America and heard my first hip hop album , I loved it, and I knew I wanted to be a part of it.
”Less than a year later, he was crafting his own music. But because he spoke very little English, his rhymes were mostly Spanish with hints of English in the hooks and sprinkled within the rhymes. He would record his music on demos at his friend’s home studio.
But as fate would have it, he was forced to return home two years after coming to America in order to straightened out his citizenship. It just so happened that while he was back in Mexico, one of Juvee’s demos fell into the lap of San Antonio, Texas-based Third Degree Entertainment CEO Juan Gonzalez. As soon as he heard Juvee’s music, Juan labeled it Spanish Hip Pop, "I knew I had heard something new and there was no existing genre for it." He knew he had struck gold.
So he hurried down to Mexico to find this kid who could burst out of the speakers. Juan scooped Juvee up, brought him to San Antonio, Tx. and inked a recording contract with the aspiring megastar. They headed straight to the studio and recorded the runaway smash “Get Crazy.” And they are set to make audiences even crazier with the Fall release of his as-yet-untitled Third Degree Entertainment debut.
“I’m a fun guy. I make music for the clubs, for women and for falling in love,” says Juvee. “And I also make songs about worldly struggles. I speak about everyday life in my music.” Speak on.
