Do you remember the summer of 1999?
New Orleans rapper Juvenile was the toast of the summer after releasing Back That Thang Up in early June, and the hit single — featuring Mannie Fresh and Lil Wayne — almost immediately became the song of the summer.
And now, well, guess what?!
Juve The Great is BACK!
The now-46-year-old rapper (born Terius Gray ) is making headlines once again this week for remixing Back again That Thang Up and turning it into a new COVID vaccine anthem called Vax That Thang Up .
Dating app BLK Dating came to him with the pitch, and Juvenile signed on to re-mix his hit — along with Mannie Fresh and newcomer Mia X , too!
It’ s a funny video and a well-done remake with new lyrics about the particular importance of getting vaccinated amid the coronavirus pandemic! Hot Girl Summer, here we come! Ch-ch-check it out (below):
Ha! Love it!!!
Juve went on CNN to discuss the new song and video on Thursday, as well:
Rapper Juvenile wants everyone to “Vax That Thang Up. ”
“It was a great way to put awareness out there for, especially for people like me and people that look like me, ” he says on the remake of his iconic hit. https://t.co/GMO5I2Vc9G pic. twitter. com/q8cs9EsuQ2

It’ s especially interesting to hear the Slow Motion rapper talk about making this “ especially for people like me and people that look like me. ”
Hopefully this will help get more people vaccinated, and we can get closer to herd immunity and finally get past typically the worst parts of the pandemic!
