Put Yo Hood Up

'Put Yo Hood Up' is Lil Jon and The East Side Boyz follow up to their debut album 'Get Crunk, Who You Wit: Da Album'. This is the first time 'Put Yo Hood Up' has been locally released in NZ.

Hailing from Atlanta, GA, hardcore hip-hop trio Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz are the premier practitioners of the southern rap sub-genre colloquially dubbed "crunk." A style that is exemplified by forceful, primal beats, over-the-top, chanted vocals, and a bad-boy / party-hardy attitude that bypasses gangsta cool in search of a visceral, hedonist high.

Accordingly, there's little subtlety to be found on 'Put Yo Hood Up' and rightfully so. Would you really want to hear a tender love ballad from leather-lunged badass Lil Jon? 'Put Yo Hood Up' is full of fearsome rhymes, thick-as-molasses beats and enough macho posturing for a whole season of WWF tournaments. Guest MCs Ludacris, Too $hort, Big Kap, Three 6 Mafia, The Youngbloodz, Eightball and MJG and Chyna Whyte are the icing on the cake in this testosterone-fueled collection that's as infectious as it is powerful.
