Juve was the first artist granted permission to film in New Orleans' still devastated Lower Ninth Ward. The video was filmed over a four-day period, and was shot just blocks from where a levee breach caused the entire neighborhood to be flooded.
The video, and a companion documentary still in production, captures the historic tragedy and the governmental neglect that followed. The lyrics of "Get Ya Hustle On," written soon after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city, addresses the strife of the people in New Orleans' poorest neighborhood.

Juvenile Attacks President Bush In New Video
Juvenile, who lost his own home to the natural disaster, uses this video to give a voice to the disenfranchised masses that were inhumanely treated in the wake of the tragedy. Directed by Ben Mor, the video follows three children who find three masks in the city's rubble, which are each inscribed with the words, "Help Is Coming," on one side, and the faces of President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on the other. The video is introduced with the words, "This is a tribute to those who died in the wrath of Hurricane Katrina. The storm may have passed, but for thousands the struggle is just beginning." In related news, Juve was arrested last Friday (January 13) in Ocala, FL on child support charges. He was released that night on his own recognizance.
