It’s been five and a half years since Lil Jon gave fans an album. 2004’s Crunk Juice entered the Top 200 at #3, and prompted the singles “What U Gon’ Do” and “Real Nigga Roll Call.” The onetime So So Def DJ also enlisted production assistance from Rick Rubin, plus a guest-list that included Nas, Ice Cube and Suga Free to what remains one of the few platinum independent Rap albums of the decade.
In the six years since, some could argue that Jon has gone quietly. As his former label folded, the self-proclaimed King Of Crunk became label-mates with Drake and Chamillionaire at Universal Republic, and produced hits for Pitbull, E-40, Amerie and Baby Bash.
This afternoon, it was announced that after the lengthy hiatus, Jon’s long-discussed, but never-released Crunk Rock will be seeing fans June 8th. Morever, Jon & The East Side Boyz‘ seventh career album features Game, R. Kelly, Elephant Man, LMFAO, Pitbull, Soulja Boy and others.
“I’m finally ready to get Crunk Rock out there to my people,” said Jon in a statement. “It’s been a long time comin’ and the album has somethin’ for everyone on it.” He continued, “I gave them every kind of Lil Jon that they have ever heard on an album. From the Crunk shit, to R&B, to House, Electro and Rock… The album is on a whole other level… I can’t wait for da’ people to hear it!”
Ya’ll do realize that Jon & The Eastside Boyz broke up right? And that this is Jon’s first solo record, right? SMH.
Glad dude linked back up with Pastor Troy though… looking forward to this for the most part.
he should record a skit with Dave Chapelle for the album… >_>
nobody cares about crunk rock
lil jon won’t even sell 25,000 copies in his 1st week of release
Its okay, its a song for white america, the streets will laugh at this track.
This real life muppet took so long making this album that nobody cares. Gucci, Jeezy, and Wayne took all his would be fans.
Lil Jon is still my nigga. I dont think this album will start a fight at the clubs like his old shit use to do.
