Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Layouts at MySpace Toolbox !I graduated in 1989 from Atlanta's Douglass High School. I was working in Atlanta when Lashonda discovered Me and invited Me to work at a Popeyes. I also hosted a radio show on BET. I started doing remixes for artists Jamal, Too Short, Xscape from prison, and Total. I worked for So So Def between 1993 and 2000. I can be seen in the 1998 video "Bitches and Hoes" as the DJ stealing the TV.In 2000, I reemerged on the hip-hop scene with an independently recorded album entitled "We Still Crunk" that was distributed by the Atlanta based Southern Music Distribution.Me & the East Side Boyz returned in 2001 with Put Your Hood Up. This caused controversy because of the cover which featured Me wrapping myself in a confederate flag. "Biatch Biatch" the single from the album featuring Ludacris, Too Short, and Chyna White became a hit in clubs throughout the U.S., and also made the top twenty downloads on MP3.com.In 2002, Me & the East Side Boyz released their breakthrough album Kings of Crunk. The first single, "I Don't Give a Fuck" featuring Mystikal and Krayzie Bone became another dancefloor filler. However, it was "Get Low" with the Ying Yang Twins and its catchy hook that became a breakout hit. It reached the top five in a composite worldwide Reggaeton chart (compiled from U.S., German, French R&B charts) in 2003 and Internet download charts. It also went into the top forty in markets such as Germany and Australia in 2004. Based on the success of "Get Low", Kings of Crunk reached the top twenty of the U.S. album chart in September 2003. I put out a compilation CD and DVD in 2003 called Alpha Nigga featuring remixes of "Get Low" featuring Busta Rhymes and Elephant Man as well as the Ying Yang Twins. I also produced the hit single "Salt Shaker" for the Ying Yang Twins.In 2004, I also helped produce two other big hits of the year. One was for the new R&B artist Ciara, also out of Atlanta. "Goodies" her debut single, featured Petey Pablo and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. I also helped produce Petey Pablo's "Freek-A-Leek".I recently released his new album called Crunk Juice, which features contributions from proteges Lil Scrappy and Bo Hagon, mega-producer Rick Rubin, R. Kelly, Ice Cube, Timbaland, Usher, and Ludacris, and one of My punk heroes, The Bad Brains. 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. I will also be working with Ko?n for a track on their next album for release later in 2005.In June 2005, Ashton Kutcher failed to "punk" me (ha ha). I was boarding a plane headed for Las Vegas, but Kutcher used actors to play customs agents to tell me that I was actually headed for Ecuador. I quickly identified members of the "customs agents" from previous episodes of the program, and asked for Kutcher to reveal himself.I am currently one of four celebrities to thwart an attempted "punking" by Ashton Kutcher. Later in an interview I quipped, "You can't Punk the King of Crunk."For most of 2005, I concentrated on production, overseeing forthcoming records for several artists off of MY BME Recordings including: Trillville, Lil Scrappy, Oobie, E-40, BHI and BoHagon. I also went through protracted renegotiations with TVT, hinting at the likelihood that I would leave the label.In 2005, I was in the videogame Tony Hawk's American Wasteland as a secret character.On February 22, 2006, I announced that I had settled business matters with TVT: "After a long battle and negotiations with TVT, we worked out our differences. TVT cut the check and now it¹s time for me to get back to work." The "work" in question is my first solo album, Crunk Rock, the release of which is planned for later in 2006. The hit single Snap yo Fingers gained huge popularity through the debut of the music video on MTV.I also starred in a documentary for the music video of Twisted Transistor, a song by the nu-metal band Korn along with Snoop Dogg, Xzibit and David Banner. I also made a cameo in Date Movie and in Scary Movie 4. I have been married since 2004.My song "Get Low" features on the 2004 Videogame Need For Speed Underground, but was heavily cut due to explicit lyrics.Dave Chappelle portrayed me on Chappelle's Show. The segment(s) were called "A Day in the Life of Lil Jon". Dave explained on his show that my music got him "amp'd". In my music videos, I would usually yell "Yeah!" (usually multiple times) during the course of my songs. In Chappelle's skits, Dave mimicks my appearance with dreadlocks, a baseball cap, jewelry, and the infamous cup that im often seen carrying. The skits would usually comprise of "Yeaaah","OK!" and "WHAT?!" being screamed repeatedly. I yell these words during everyday activities or interviews and occasionally I talk in a normal voice (with a bit of an English accent). In one skit, the real me talked to Dave's me on the phone...Bored yet tell me wat i should do with my pro OOKAAAAAAAY!
