Posse up because they are back! Each year there is that one summer hit
from that one hot group that churns out a bass bottom club anthem that sets the streets afire and what better group to strike
the hip-hop match yet again than BME Recoding trio. Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz. Infiltrating radio airwaves and stereo
systems throughout the South, the southern born and bred clique is releasing their ghetto slang and bouncy bass-bottom club
music on a universally appealing level. Comprised of ATLiens, Lil Jon, Lil Bo, and Big Sam, this head bobbing crew is qualified
to rock the nation with their brand of funkified jams specifically concocted to take any party to the next plateau of hype.
Atlanta has quickly garnered the reputation as the premier breeding ground for fiery underground talent and no one knows that
better that native producer Jonathon "Lil Jon" Smith who has worked with So So Def helmsman and mutli-platinum artist/producer
Jermaine Dupri. Formally an A&R rep for SO SO Def, Lil Jon has moved on to an independent project. In having blessed the
culture with an explosive debut album, "Who U Wit, Get Crunk: Da Album" (Ichiban Records, 1996), this independent signed group
is slated for sensational success with their follow-up sophomore project, "We Still Crunk", on B.M.E. Recordings. Funky bas
lines zip through spirited lyrics as infectious hooks get the crowd hype, which is the musical formula that continues to establish
Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz as true pioneers if underground hip-hop just South of the Mason Dixon Line. That are trendsetter
within the market if making music that shakes and tears the club up, bit they are also known for producing sure-fire hits
for the growing "get crunk" hip-hop heads. Lil jon who represents the SWATS (Southwest Atlanta), met East Decatur residents
Big Sam and Lil Bo in 1996 when they collectively joined forces to form Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz. "I met Lil Bo and
Big Sam through Playa Poncho. Playa Poncho made the original club anthem 'What's Up! What's Up!' He introduced us before he
went on to develop his solo career." After their union, Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz embarked on a mission they have yet
to regret. On the heels of their first album, which included the smash singles "Shawty Freak a Lil Sumthin" and the "shout
out" anthem, "Who U Wit," Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz have recruited some of the hottest producers to endorse the tracks
on their "We Stil Crunk." With guest appearances from the legendary self-proclaimed player Too $hort, labels Chyna and Bo
Hagon of Full-Time Family Tree, "WE Still Crunk" is guaranteed to live up to its boastful title. Bio Courtesy of BME Records.
