In an interview with CBS Mornings, Lil Jon discussed his mediation album. "First of all, you can't scream all the time, Gayle. I can't be hollering, 'Can I get a number two!'" 

On Wednesday, 20 March 2024, Lil Jon, 52 shared that the inspiration for his album came after a health scare.  The rapper, producer, and King of Crunk, whose real name is Jonathan Smith, was 50 years old when he discovered a lump on his side. 

Fearing the worst, he went to a medical professional and had the lump examined. Fortunately, everything was ok. This wake-up call prompted Lil Jon to reevaluate his life. He made the decision to quit drinking, embraced a healthier lifestyle, and incorporate meditation into his daily routine. 

Known for his high-energy tracks like Turn Down For What and Get Low, Lil Jon is now shifting gears with a new project called Total Meditation, where he provides guided meditations to help listeners find peace and relaxation. In another interview with NPR, he emphasized the importance of taking a break and finding moments to calm the mind.
