 Now that he has resolved contractual issues with his label, TVT Records, hip hop impact player Lil Jon is reportedly prepping his solo debut 'Crunk Rock,' a little later than some expected.
"I dropped 'Snap Yo Fingers' because I was going through the drama with TVT Records, and I wanted to show people that I didn't go anywhere," said Lil Jon of his summer collaboration with E-40 and Youngbloodz, which sat atop Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart last August. "TVT and I eventually settled our differences. So I was caught between a rock and a hard place, because it was really the first single for 'Crunk Rock.'
'Crunk Rock' will be a blend of hip hop and rock, says Jon. "I'm going to go back to some of those hard guitars over hip-hop beats. I won't do a Metallica song, but I'll take a Metallica riff and put it over a gangsta beat."
Although no release date is pinpointed at press time, 'Crunk Rock' is due to include appearances by R. Kelly ('Myspace'), Lil Wayne and Ciara ('Roll Call'), and Nate Dogg. Academy Award winning group Three 6 Mafia joins Jon for 'Act a Fool,' which on his Myspace page "had almost 500,000-600,000 hits in like 24 hours and the song is building in the clubs," according to Jon.
