Lil Jon earned his stripes spinning bass music on the Atlanta party scene during the '90s, but it was his role in the crunk movement of the early-'00s that turned him into a mainstream success. Flanked by The Eastside Boyz, his productions incited rowdy nights at clubs across the world, while southern staples T.I., Pitbull, and the Ying Yang Twins all benefitted from his boisterous beats.
