“This event will be a defining moment in the Crunk movement,” said Lil Jon. “Our AOL Music LIVE! performance is the perfect stage for us (Lil Jon & The Eastside Boyz) to show the world how Crunk music is like black punk rock music.”

“Lil Jon & East Side Boyz have consistently been one of AOL Music’s most searched and requested artists,” said Jack Isquith, Executive Director of Music Industry Relations for AOL Music. “Their energized performance for AOL Music Sessions has been a favorite with our audience and we are thrilled that they chose AOL Music Live for what is sure to be an unforgettable event.”

Previous performances, which include Usher, Nelly and Good Charlotte among others, were played more than one million times in a week. Months after the live events, individual original performances from these concerts consistently appear on AOL Music’s weekly Top 11 charts, often outpacing the traditional music videos for the same songs.
