Lil Jon Australian Tour 2007
September 29th 2007 02:11
From the Dirty South to Down Under
Showtime Touring and OPP present the official King Of Crunk
Exuberant, loud-mouthed, and regularly seen with a bejeweled pimp chalice at hand, Lil Jon is the charismatic figurehead of the phenomenal Dirty South crunk movement that arose from the Atlanta area in the late 90’s. Without question, Lil Jon is responsible for the crunk movement elevating from a mere contender in the hip hop race, to the leader of the pack, dominating the clubs and charts in the process. Now, with 7 solo albums under his belt and a string of massive hits including “Snap Yo Fingers”, “Lovers and Friends” and “Get Low”, Lil Jon is bringing his energetic live show to Australia in October for the Get Crunked Volume 2 Tour.
Lil Jon started off his career as a DJ spinning at house parties, but eventually graduated to the Atlanta club scene. His notoriety soon landed him on the music-industry fast track, scoring him an A&R gig at Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def Records as well as a radio slot on V-103 in Atlanta. Like many a hip-hop producer, Jon’s Djing saw him eventually move into production. He formed his own group, Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz and released two reasonably successful albums, the first in 1997. In 2001, he released “Put Yo Hood Up” which featured the massive club hit “Bia Bia” that went on to break the Top 20 download chart. Just one year later, he would release the album “Kings Of Crunk” which featured the breakthrough hit “Get Low” with the Ying Yang Twins which charted across the world. But in 2004, Lil Jon produced a track that would put him on the map as one of the essential go-to producers in the world. The track was “Yeah” by Usher which skyrocketed to Number 1 on the US Billboard Chart. This was quickly followed up with production duties on another Number One hit, “Goodies” by Ciara. Lil Jon has gone on to work with some of the biggest names in the business including R. Kelly, Snoop Dogg, Pitbull, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes and Xzibit.
Not only is Lil Jon one of the most in demand producers and performers in the world, he is also a clever businessman who has released a successful energy drink called Crunk Juice, and his own range of sunglasses for Oakley. He has also appeared in “Scary Movie 4”, “Date Movie” and was a regular guest on Dave Chappelle’s “Chappelle’s Show”.
Don’t miss the opportunity to get crunk with Lil Jon!!
