Lil Jon is admitting one of his biggest club hits needed a lil’ tinkering before it saw the light of day … that “Get Low” song you dance to at every wedding almost came out as a techno track!
The King of Crunk was a recent guest on the “One Song” podcast with musicologists Diallo Riddle and Blake “Luxxury” Robin, where he revealed his 2003 collab with Ying Yang Twins was once titled “Let It Go” … and played the never-before-heard OG version, which he’s proud got left on the cutting room floor!!!
Jon also credited his longtime engineer, Ray Seay, for possessing the genius to bump Ying Yang’s melodic mumbling at the top of the track, giving the track an instant spark of energy the moment it comes on.
The chorus was both clunky and poppy, with Kaine of the Ying Yang Twins crooning “let it goooo” through robotic Auto-Tuned vocals … Jon tells the hosts the song wasn’t the one then — or now!!!
“Get Low” has appeared in several video games in addition to being remixed and revamped several times over the years … a tune Jon and Ying Yang still use to get crowds hype to this day.
Check out the full episode tomorrow, where Lil Jon gets lower about the track’s creation on the One Song YouTube channel.
