Five Things You Didn't Know About Lil Jon


Take some “shots, shots, shots, shots” and get crunk with Lil Jon this Sunday at Sutra, when the DJ representing Atlanta makes an appearance. Lil Jon paved his way to fame with hip-hop group, The Eastside Boyz and the song “Get Low” (which became so popular even Sandra Bullock paid a tribute to the Boyz with her amazing dance skills in her movie The Proposal).


Since then, Lil Jon has embarked on a solo career with his album Crunk Rock last year, all the while keeping busy by starring in reality television shows like Celebrity Apprentice and collaborating with metal artists like Jonathan Davis from Korn. While there's a lot of bloggage about the man born John Mortimer Smith, here's a list of other factoids you may not know about Lil Jon.
