For those who haven't heard, Lil Jon has become a heavy hitter on the DJ scene. He recently performed at this year's Ultra Music Festival, and he's now become a fan of the ever-evolving "house music". Jon says that he has adapted his musical awareness to suit all types of crowds and become the ultimate DJ.
"When I DJ, I play everything from some Afrojack to some Big Sean to some Skrillex. I play a wide variety of stuff so I have to really be on top of my musical game. I also have to be able to read the crowd and know exactly what kind of people I have in the crowd and play for everybody because my crowds are so diverse. A normal house DJ has a sick crowd that comes out and they just want to hear house all night. My crowd wants to hear Timberland, "Get Low", and so many different things, so I have to be on top of my game and really read the crowd. I also have high energy while I'm DJing and give them a good show."
Lil Jon hasn't forsaken his role as an artist though. He has been staying busy in the studio, aside from experimenting with the DJ scene. It's uncertain when his next album will be released, but he's staying hard at work, recording loads of songs until he feels his album is ready.
"I have a lot more records coming out. I've been in the studio. Recently, I've just been on the road so much I haven't been able to finish a lot of the new records that I have. But basically, more music coming out. I got to constantly keep giving people music. In the next couple months, I have a lot more records, and maybe an album later this year. I got a title for the album but really I want to just keep recording songs and when I get enough songs to call it an album, I'll call it an album. I could also release singles and then when it's time to put out an album, I'll put out an album. I just want to keep recording."
