The crunk sound bubbled out of secret swamps underneath the gritty streets of Atlanta well over a decade before Lil Jon and his Eastside Boyz were proclaimed kings. However, undeniable ex-DJ and record executive Lil Jon brought out the music's most granular, elemental form and drove the aggressive, infectious, dance-floor grinding sound into an unforeseen stratosphere of platinum. Fittingly, the rap guru showcases two of Atlanta's strongest purveyors of crunk, Trillville and Lil Scrappy, with two individual albums worth of material packed and intertwined on one relentlessly pounding record.
Lil Scrappy opens, declaring "I'm on top of the world, ma," which embodies the inebriated spirit of the Southern-fried sound, then promptly gets rowdy with anthems like "Head Bussa" and the sinister "No Problem." Trillville's three-headed monster of Big Mouf, Don P, and LA brings it even harder and more unyieldingly, rapping disturbingl over a variation on the Halloween theme on "Get Some Crunk in Yo System" and righteously rhythmic over a game-show refrain on "Weakest Link." Lil Jon knows how to mix music, and the two acts he combines weave into each other perfectly for one beat-fueled party.
