Early life

Jonathan Mortimer Smith was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and graduated from Douglass High School in 1989. He worked for So So Def between 1993 and 2000, which is where he got his stage name Lil Jon.2

Lil Jon says that he "was inspired by the synthesizer sounds of rave/dance music he heard playing in Atlanta strip clubs".3

Before recording the album,context? Lil Jon severed his negotiation with record label TVT. Two years ago, Jon vowed never to record for TVT Records again, alleging that TVT owner Steve Gottlieb was shortchanging him.4

After a long battle and negotiations with TVT, we worked out our differences. TVT cut the check and now it's time for me to get back to work.

4 Jon said in a statement: Crunk Rock is going to be some next level shit.4

As part of TVT Records' 2008 bankruptcy auction, Lil Jon withdrew his multi-million dollar objection to the TVT sale proceedings and agreed to TVT’s transfer of his artist agreement to The Orchard. In return, The Orchard released Lil Jon from all future compulsions and returned the rights to the master recordings of his constantly delayed LP, Crunk Rock.5 He is a avid fan of the Atlanta Thrashers hockey team.
