Santana began writing rhymes at the age of 12. He was originally signed to Priority Records as one half a duo called Draft Pick. The group had several shows around New York City while together, including Amateur Night at the Apollo Theatre, where they won two weeks in a row. Some time after this, he was introduced to Cam'ron through a cousin; in 1998, he became a member of the group, The Diplomats, whose members include Cam'ron, Jim Jones, 40 Cal, J.R Writer, Hell Rell, Jha Jha, S.A.S, and Freekey Zeekey. He is now signed as a solo artist to Dipset but unlike the rest of The Diplomats, who are signed to Koch Records, Santana is currently signed to Def Jam.
He was voted #2 in the VIBE Vixen top 50 sexiest rappers behind T.I. at #1.
His first album, From Me To You was released by Roc-A-Fella Records in 2003 featuring the singles "Dipset (Santana's Town)" and "Down". It was considered a commerical failure when compared to the sucess of Cam'ron's Come Home With Me and The Diplomats' Diplomatic Immunity.
In his latest work, his second album, What The Game's Been Missing!, features the singles "There It Go! (The Whistle Song)", and "Oh Yes" as he continues his unique flow. He was featured in Chris Brown's #1 hit "Run It!" and in the remix of Mariah Carey's # 1 single "Don't Forget About Us". Santana also had the summer hit "Mic Check" which also is on "What The Game's Been Missing!"
Juelz is best known for his ability to flow without any specific rhyme scheme.

Killa, you already know what it is
My man Juelz Santana
That boy got that crack, man
Diplomat Records, man
The song "Dipset" by Juelz Santana, featuring Cam'Ron, is an anthem for the Dipset rap crew from Harlem, New York. Dipset stands for Diplomat Records, the label that the group founded. The song starts with Cam'Ron hyping up Juelz Santana, letting him know that he's on his own and that the Dipset crew is in the building. The chorus consists of the crew repeating "Dipset" over and over again, establishing their presence and unity.
In the first verse, Juelz talks about the gang he's with, which includes some violent imagery like "hammers move, bangers bang." He also talks about his collection of women, and how he's a "big pimpin'" player. He warns that he's "dangerous," "brainless," and "stainless," with guns at the ready. In the second verse, Cam'Ron jumps in with some wordplay, rhyming about being deep, wearing low clothes, and calling his foes "Nazis" and "copy papi." He brags about being a baller and scoring with others' daughters, and hints at doing drugs and having unprotected sex. Cam'Ron and Juelz Santana end the song with a final chorus, with Santana shouting out different members of the Dipset crew.
Overall, the song exudes a sense of menace and machismo, with its aggressive lyrics and repetitive chorus. Dipset was one of the most popular rap crews of the early 2000s, with a unique style and sound that influenced many other rappers. "Dipset" is one of their most recognizable anthems, and it helped establish them as a force in the rap game.
