Lil Jon swaps crunk for calm with new album "Total Meditation"
CBSN
Rapper Lil Jon starts his day by saying three affirmations to himself: "I am happy. I am healthy. I am at peace." The practice is not just a habit, but a transformative moment in the rapper's life.
"I would say those affirmations every day," he said. "Throughout the day before I go to sleep, if I'm closing my eyes, that's the time to meditate, too, when you drift off. And those affirmations help. And the meditation helped me to get into a more positive mindset," he said.
In a surprising pivot from his signature Southern "crunk" style, the rapper, DJ, and producer recently released a new album titled "Total Meditation." The album, featuring guided meditations and mantras voiced by Lil Jon himself, aims to offer listeners a journey toward serenity and peace, a stark contrast to his energetic party anthems.
