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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[CHORUS]
Juelz back and he's better than ever
This is crack and it's better than ever
Get, get back 'cause whatever's whatever
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll the kid is back
I'm back and I'm back and I'm back and I'm back in affect
I'm back and I'm back and I'm back as a matter of fact
I'm jabbin', I'm jabbin', I'm jabbin', I'm jabbin' 'em back
What's happened has happened and I'm what's happenin' back
I'm packin' a mack in the back of the cadillac
I'm badder than that than half of the bastards who rap
I'm battin' at that with a baseball hat and a bat
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll the kid is back
I'm fuckin this track I been fuckin this track up, I'm doin'
I come with the mack, if you bust that shit back up, I'm shootin'
He front and he act up, there's nothin' to back up his shootin'
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll the kid is back
I bubble the crack 'cause I cut it to packs and I move it
It's nothin' to that, but it's somethin' to that 'cause I do it
They runnin' you back, I'm runnin' it back, I'm movin'
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll the kid is back
[Chorus (2x)]
[VERSE 2]
Yo, I'm doper than doper, than doper, than doper, than doper
I'm closer to dope than actual dope is to dope
I roll in the smoke let 'em know it's potent I smoke
Take coke to the boat, the boat to the ocean and float
I know what I know about hoes that I know that you don't
I know I control 'em I poke 'em and open 'em slow
I know that I'm flowin', so why stop flowin', keep goin'
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll the kid is back
I know that I'm killin', and killin' is just what I do
I know them gorillas we all used to chill in the zoo
I know how to get her, kill him and get up to you
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll the kid is back
I know that I'm iller, the illest, and iller than you
Hold up my nigga, there's nothin' you niggas can do
My four-fifth is bigger I spit it and it enters in you
Hey ya'll, hey ya'll the kid is back
[CHORUS (2x)]
The song "Kid Is Back" by Juelz Santana is a celebration of his return to the rap scene. In the chorus, he exclaims that he is back and better than ever, comparing his rhymes to crack for their addictive qualities. Throughout the song, Juelz makes it clear that he is not to be messed with, referencing his dangerous weapons and influential power over women. He boasts about his skills, claiming to be doper than actual dope and the illest of them all.
In the first verse, Juelz sets the tone for the rest of the song, announcing his return and declaring that he is the one in control. He references his use of a "mack" (slang for a gun) and his success in the drug game, showing that he is not to be trifled with. In the chorus, he repeats his catchphrase and emphasizes the power of his rhymes.
The second verse continues with Juelz's braggadocious attitude, as he compares himself to a gorilla and claims to know everything there is to know about "hoes." He again references his use of a gun, claiming that his "four-fifth is bigger" and that it will "enter in you." The song ends with another repetition of the chorus, solidifying the message that Juelz is back and at the top of his game.
