Lil Jon has dropped a guided meditation album

Rapper Lil Jon recently released a guided meditation album called ‘Total Meditation’. The album consists of 11 tracks, all of which feature Grammy-winning producer Kabir Sehgal. Lil Jon shared a video on social media, in which he was seen sitting on the ground in a desert, as he narrated: “Now imagine yourself in a place that makes you feel safe and secure. I’d like to welcome you to ‘Total Meditation’.” ‘Welcome’, the intro track, is less than 7 minutes long, while the 10 remaining tracks run for 10 minutes each. It’s available now on all streaming platforms.

Lil Jon revealed how he came across guided meditation during a turbulent time in his personal life when he turned 50. “Once I turned 50, a lot of things started to happen. I started going through a divorce. I’m separated right now. Going through that and all of the emotions of the divorce—anger and frustration and all of the ups and downs — I found meditation to calm me and to bring me more at peace; to look at life and situations in a different manner. I really got into meditating and saying my affirmations every day and also into manifestation. All of that tied together,” he told Rolling Stone.

Lil Jon also said that he hopes this album will change people’s perspective of him. “Part of the reason I want to do this project is [because] people that look like me and then people that look at me like, ‘Oh, this crazy party guy,’ [are] going to listen to me in a different manner than they would like a doctor or their mom or their dad. They relate to me a little bit more.”

Despite having been in the industry for three decades, Lil Jon has only released one prior solo album, 2010’s ‘Crunk Rock’. Apart from that, the rapper has featured on several collaborative albums with the East Side Boyz, as well as numerous rap and dance tracks over his career
