New Orleans hip-hop takes center stage as Juvenile and The 400 Degreez Band bring a high-octane live show to Orlando.

Juvenile helped catapult Southern rap into the mainstream in the late 1990s with gritty storytelling and club-shaking anthems like “Back That Azz Up.”

Backed by the full 400 Degreez Band — who joined him for his viral NPR Tiny Desk performance — the Cash Money Records legend revisits the hits with added brass, bounce and raw energy, transforming familiar singles into heavy jamming.

8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com. $47.50-$67.50.
