Lil Jon Free From TVT Deal, Inks New Deal
The King of Crunk has dropped his lawsuit against TVT Records and transfered his recording services over to The Orchard, a digital distribution company.
Lil Jon announced the deal today to media in a press release.
“I walked into The Orchard and came away with the sweet taste of freedom!” he explained. “Others talk, The Orchard does. I expect to do great things with them, and look forward to my future.”
The Orchard is set to re-issue all of the producer’s past albums, which the company acquired as a part of its acquisition of TVT when the record label filed bankruptcy.
Lil Jon will also serve as a musical liaison with the company; the Crunk Juice CEO will lend his A&R experience to The Orchard.
Jon is free from his contractual obligations arraigned under his TVT deal, however, any future projects, such as albums, would be released under The Orchard banner. Lil Jon is still at work on his next LP, Crunk Rock.—Anthony Thomas

Well for one people who speak proper English are asking for Nas. Also people with an IQ above 70, unlike yourself. You see Lil’ Jon may be popular in the clubs and in the south, but outside of that how many people actually follow Lil’ Jon’s music? I own every single Nas album that has ever come out, and I am sure there are many people on XXL that can say the same thing.

I am not a Lil Jon fan but if you are going to criticize at least be correct yourself. You have an over abundance of sentence fragments and poor verb tense in your miniture rant. By the way fuck NAS. If you own every NAS cd then you bought quite a few shitty albums. Like Jay said one hot album every ten year average, and that’s so laaaammme.

Shut up,
The common white population would say nas don’t speak proper english either so you ain’t sayin’ shit anyway. Why is the “more proper english” better? White appeal? I don’t understand your reasoning. And I’m not even gonna get on that IQ bullshit. Like greatness has to come w/ a high IQ or something.
How we gonna get ahead when we argue w/ eachother and don’t address the problem. Whitewashing of the WORLD.

Most of these haterz don’t even know anything about “Role Call”
Lil Jon is not a rapper; he’s a club hit maker. That is all he has ever claimed to be. He’s the King of Crunk and he makes hits.
