Lil Jon‘s finally answering his own age-old question … turn down for what? Try meditation, because — strange as it sounds — he’s got a new album on the way that’s way more relaxing than his crunk sound.
Music industry sources tell 360aproko … Lil Jon’s recorded a guided meditation album, and while that doesn’t seem in line with his trademark yelling of words like, “Yeah!” or “Whaaat?” — it’s in line with his personal life.
We’re told Jon’s been making fitness and wellness a big priority in his life for a while now, focusing especially on his health … and his decision to record a meditation album is a direct byproduct.
While this will catch a lot of folks off guard — especially those who still vibe to crunk classics like “Turn Down For What” and “Get Low” — our sources say the album is “truthful” to who Jon’s become these days, and it makes sense for him.
Basically, it sounds like he’s combining his 2 passions … wellness and music.
We’re told Lil Jon’s 10-track project is scheduled to drop Feb. 16, and that date doesn’t sound coincidental.
As you know, Usher‘s performing the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Feb. 11 — and Jon’s widely rumored, if not flat out expected, to join him onstage for their smash hit, “Yeah!”
While no one’s confirming his halftime cameo … the fact Lil Jon’s releasing his meditation album that same week, seems like a big clue.
Namaste tuned!
