Lil Jon | Where Are They Now? | How TikTok Meme Revived His Fame

Lil Jon is probably best known as the undisputed king of Crunk and
in the early 2000’s he spearheaded the Dirty South movement that
arose out of the hip-hop haven of Atlanta, Georgia. As a character,
Lil Jon often presents himself as larger than life, not to mention
loud and belligerent, which has helped produce a few of the most
often repeated hip-hop catchphrases of recent memory including
“Yaaaa”, “What?” and “Okaaaaay”. Whether as a member of the East
Coast Boyz, a solo artist, or a collaborator with some of hip-hop’s
biggest stars, Lil Jon has always managed to produce that magical
element that turns almost everything he touches into solid gold.
The most recent example? His sudden booming popularity on TikTok
where he’s taken over the entire platform with the help of the
Reading Rainbow meme. Wanna find out more? Then stay tuned to our
