King Of Crunk and TVT Records Settle Differences

February 22, 2006
(New York, NY) After collaborating on hits with Usher, Ice Cube, Ying
Yang
Twins and a host of others on the release of his second certified
double-platinum album, Crunk Juice, Lil Jon is preparing to commence
work on
his fourth full-length album entitled CRUNK ROCK. The new album, which
is
scheduled for release later this year, is Lil Jons first venture as a
solo
artist on TVT. The first single, "Snap Yo Fingers" features E-40.

After a long battle and negotiations with TVT, we worked out our
differences. TVT cut the check and now its time for me to get back to
work, states Lil Jon who is currently touring in Australia with 50
Cent.
Crunk Rock is going to be some next level shit.

Lil Jon will also be in the studio finishing work on the long-awaited
debut
albums from BME/TVT Records female rap slayer Chyna Whyte and silky
songstress Oobie later this year as well.
