New music Friday is here once again as we move deeper into the first quarter of 2024.

Lil Jon Drops Total Meditation Album

Turn down for what? To get connected with your inner chi, Lil Jon deviates from his normal high-energy offering to release the new album Total Meditation, the follow-up to 2022's Drunn City 3. The Atlanta rapper-producer, who is coming off a cameo performance at the 2024 Super Bowl, announced the 10-track album earlier this month to the surprise of many. "I've always kind of meditated a little bit," Jon recently told XXL, "but when I turned 50, started going through a lot of things. Started going through a divorce, I'm separated now, and all the emotions from the divorce and all that process was really getting to me. So, I found I had to start to go within to calm myself."
