Lil Jon

He will also be working with Korn for a track on their next album for release later in 2005[2] (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1486976/05122004/lil_jon_1.jhtml). Their work has paved the way for groundbreaking artists around the globe such as Carnage and the Fiasco, Hooverphonic, Fischerspooner, and Delerium. The Double-CD Crunk Juice includes remixes of Daddy Yankee's Reggaeton hit "Gasolina," as well as skits from comedians Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock. Part of their song "Teardrop" is being used as the theme music for the American television show House, M.D.. Kelly, Ice Cube, Timbaland, Usher, and Ludacris. The Jamaican reggae legend Horace Andy is a fixture of Massive Attack albums. Lil Jon has recently released his new album called Crunk Juice, which features contributions from Rick Rubin, R. Each Massive Attack album features guest vocalists, and so far the band has worked with Tricky, Shara Nelson, Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl, Nicolette, Sara Jay, Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins and Sinéad O'Connor.

The track was one of the biggest hits of 2004, topping the Billboard Hot 100, European, World, US and World R&B charts, World Adult, Australian, Norwegian, and Swiss charts and reached number 2 in Canada. Marshall elected to sit out during the recording of 100th Window, making that album essentially a Del Naja solo project. In late 2003, Usher asked Lil Jon to produce and appear on "Yeah" the lead single from his Confessions album. After the recording of Mezzanine, Vowles -- dissatisfied with the change in sound -- left the band. Jon also produced the hit single "Salt Shaker" for the Ying Yang Twins. Massive Attack originally consisted of three members, Robert Del Naja ("3D"), Grant Marshall ("Daddy G") and Andrew Vowles ("Mushroom"). Lil Jon put out a compilation CD and DVD in 2003 called Part II featuring remixes of "Get Low" featuring Busta Rhymes and Elephant Man as well as the Ying Yang Twins. While some critics found 100th Window album not up to par with previous offerings, many found it a worthwhile listening experience.

Based on the success of "Get Low", Kings of Crunk would make the top twenty of the US album chart in September 2003. Del Naja was charged with possession of drugs that month. It also went into the top 40 in markets such as Germany and Australia in 2004. It entered the Top 10 in the UK charts. It reached the top 5 in a composite worldwide r&b chart (compiled from U.S., German, French, UK, and Australian r&b charts) in 2003 and internet download charts. A fourth album, 100th Window, was released on February 10, 2003. However, it was "Get Low" with the Ying Yang Twins and its catchy hook "from the window to the wall" that became a breakout hit. A song from this album, "Dissolved Girl," was featured in the film The Matrix.

The first single, "I Don't Give a ****" featuring Mystikal and Krayzie Bone, became another dancefloor filler. Massive Attack's third album Mezzanine was released in 1998. Mezzanine showed the band moving towards a dark, distorted guitar-based sound, and, according to many fans and critics, marked a significant evolution. In 2002, Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz released their breakthrough album Kings of Crunk. This marked the last collaboration of Wild Bunch member Tricky with Massive Attack, as he afterwards concentrated wholly on his solo career. "Bia Bia" the single from the album featuring Ludacris, Too Short, and Chyna Whyte became a hit in clubs throughout the US and also made the top twenty downloads on MP3.com. Featuring two string instrumentals arranged by Craig Armstrong, this album featured a more lush, deeper sound than the first. Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz returned in 2001 with Put Your Hood Up. In 1994 Massive Attack released their second effort Protection.

DJ Smurf of the Ying Yang Twins has said of his contribution, "Anything you say about crunk has to start with Lil Jon."[1] (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5015949/1). aggression against the Third World in the name of democracy, often expressing regret that he ever agreed to the name change. This song, which featured booming bass, synthesiser riffs, and loud vocal chants, would be a pivotal track in the development of crunk. Lead band member Robert Del Naja makes no secret in interviews of his political objections to U.S. This contained the song "Who You Wit" which became a club anthem in Atlanta. During the first Gulf War, several British media channels became anxious to avoid using words suggestive of war and violence, and Massive Attack (then struggling to become established) were forced to temporarily change their name to simply Massive. In 1996, Lil Jon linked up with the Big Sam and Lil Bo, collectively known as The East Side Boyz, to produce the album Get Crunk, Who U Wit:Da Album. Blue Lines ushered in a new genre of music best referred to as "the Bristol sound", but the press began to use the label "trip hop", which the members of Massive Attack dislike.

He worked for So So Def between 1993 and 2000. This subsequently became one of the most influential British records of the 1990s, inspiring other projects such as Portishead and Morcheeba. He also started doing remixes for artists Usher, Too Short, Xscape, and Total. In 1991, they released their first album, Blue Lines, featuring the hit singles Unfinished Sympathy and Daydreaming. Lil Jon also hosted a radio show on V103. Massive Attack began as an offshoot of the Bristol art community The Wild Bunch. He was working as a club DJ when Jermaine Dupri discovered him and invited him to work as an A&R man for So So Def. Their music is electronic, and combines elements of jazz, hip-hop and other genres; lately the darker, subtler forms of electronica have been dominant influences.

Lil Jon graduated in 1988 from Atlanta's Douglass High School. They have released four full studio albums. His group, Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, is one of the subgenre's most notable acts. Massive Attack is a popular band from Bristol, England. He is best known as a pioneer of the subgenre of hip hop known as "crunk", a combination of elements of Southern hip hop and bass music. Lil Jon (born Jonathan Smith in 1970 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an African-American hip hop performer and record producer.
