LIL JON
For over a decade, Lil Jon has been a major force in music and pop culture, famous for his catchphrases “YEAH,” “OK,” and “WHAT.” He’s performed worldwide with artists like Usher, Ludacris, Pitbull, and Steve Aoki. His collaboration with DJ Snake on “Turn Down For What” became a global hit, followed by more successful tracks such as “Bend Ova,” “Prison Riot,” and “Get Loose.”
Lil Jon holds major DJ residencies in Las Vegas and has performed worldwide in cities across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. He was named Las Vegas Resident DJ of the Year during his five-year residency at the Wynn/Encore.
In addition to music, Lil Jon is a savvy businessman, landing major endorsements with Bud Light, Oakley, and Don Julio, and launching his own clothing line. He appeared on Celebrity Apprentice, raising nearly $200,000 for charity.
Lil Jon is known for popularizing the Crunk movement with the East Side Boyz, producing hits like “Bia Bia” and “Put Yo Hood Up.” He helped bring ‘Crunk’ to the mainstream, even inspiring skits on Chappelle’s Show.
He has produced platinum hits for major artists including Usher, Ciara, and E-40, and his own songs have appeared in blockbuster movies and hit TV shows.
Lil Jon’s hitmaking success has earned him a Grammy, eight Billboard Awards, and many other major honors.
The Ying Yang Twins—made up of D-Roc and Kaine—burst onto the scene in 1996 with their infectious single "Whistle While You Twurk." The track received heavy rotation on urban and pop radio, climbing to #17 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Their popularity soared further as they hit the road with Juz tha King, Kat Nu, and Demo Dil on the King Me tour. That same year, they released their full-length debut album, Thug Walkin', setting the stage for their rise in Southern hip-hop.
After catching the attention of A&R Bryan Leach—who had just discovered fellow Atlanta hip-hop star Lil Jon—negotiations began to sign the Ying Yang Twins to TVT Records. However, extended talks pushed the deal past the release window for their next album, Alley: The Return of the Ying Yang Twins, which dropped in 2002 on Koch Records. The album gained a strong following among Southern hip-hop fans. That same year, the Twins featured on the double-platinum Kings of Crunk album by Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz, with the single "Get Low" becoming an iconic club anthem. With only a one-album deal at Koch, the duo was finally free to join TVT, who had already impressed them through their collaborations with Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz.
Their TVT debut, Me & My Brother, earned platinum status on April 12, 2005, and produced several major hits—including "Whats Happnin!", "Naggin'", and the chart-topping Lil Jon collaboration "Salt Shaker." The same year, the Twins made a crossover appearance on Britney Spears' In the Zone album with the track "I Got That (Boom Boom)," even joining her on a televised special. In 2004, they followed up with My Brother & Me, a remix album featuring a bonus DVD of their music videos.
Their next project, U.S.A. (United State of Atlanta), dropped in summer 2005, with singles like "Wait (The Whisper Song)," "Badd," and "Shake" dominating charts and radio airwaves. Later that year, they released U.S.A. (Still United), a compilation of outtakes, remixes, and collaborations—again bundled with a DVD of exclusive videos and behind-the-scenes footage. U.S.A. (United State of Atlanta) earned platinum certification on August 25, 2005, cementing their status as Southern rap mainstays.
The Twins' fifth studio album, Chemically Imbalanced, arrived in November 2006 and showcased collaborations with top producers Wyclef Jean, Keith Duplessis, and longtime partner Mr. Collipark. Its standout singles included the Hall & Oates-sampling "Dangerous"—featuring Wyclef Jean—and club favorite "Jigglin'." In 2008, the duo dropped the mixtape The Official Work and the promo single "Drop." The following year, they released Ying Yang Forever through Deep Records and embarked on the nationwide Ying Yang Forever Tour.
Their energetic anthem "Halftime (Stand Up and Get Crunk)" has become a staple at NFL stadiums, most notably serving as the unofficial soundtrack for the New Orleans Saints’ Super Bowl-winning season. The Twins performed the song live at the team's victory parade, further cementing its legacy. "Halftime" has also been featured in video games like NFL Street 2 and Madden NFL 11, and regularly pumps up the crowd at San Antonio Spurs home games during opening tip-off.
Today, the Ying Yang Twins continue to electrify sold-out audiences worldwide with their high-energy performances and enduring hits.
Chidera Anamege—better known as Chiddy Bang—stands out as a visionary hip-hop artist hailing from Newark, NJ. He first rose to prominence as the frontman of the acclaimed duo Chiddy Bang. While still a freshman at Drexel University, Chiddy joined forces with producer Xaphoon Jones, igniting a wave of attention with three groundbreaking mixtapes, an EP, and their Parlophone Records debut album, Breakfast. Their breakout hit “Opposite of Adults” and subsequent releases have since surpassed 500 million streams worldwide.
Following the duo’s split, Chiddy forged his own path as a solo artist, independently expanding his catalog and embracing complete creative autonomy. In 2023, he released three albums—Lunch, Keep the Change, and Saved by the Swell—before unveiling his self-titled project, Chiddy, in 2024. Now more focused than ever, he is producing some of his most compelling music yet, elevating the signature style that fans cherish. With revitalized energy and vision, Chiddy continues to evolve as an independent artist, poised to reach new heights.
Columbia Nashville singer / songwriter Kameron Marlowe “is one of our greatest living country singers” (MusicRow). The Kannapolis, North Carolina-native fell in love with country music on an old FM radio while hunting and fishing with his grandpa, raised on Keith Whitley, Brooks & Dunn, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Ray Charles. Marlowe grew up singing in church choir and bands, honing his soulful, resonant baritone and distinct vocal style while in school, eventually dropping out of college and working as an auto part salesman at General Motors to help his family.
In 2019, his self-penned single “Giving You Up” brought Kameron notoriety and moved him to Music City. However, it was his 2022 debut album We Were Cowboys where the world finally took note, becoming an “all-around vocalist-writer-artist worth paying attention to” (Billboard). Now, three albums, multiple RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications, and over 1.2 billion+ global streams later, Marlowe stands out as one of the most singular, formidable, and agile talents in the format.
“The ‘best live voice’ in all of country” (American Songwriter), Marlowe’s titanic vocal ability, universally appealing catalog, and tasteful ear have earned him sold-out headliners from coast to coast, hand-picking and championing openers like Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Tucker Wetmore, and more as support for his raved-about live show. Marlowe himself has supported genre giants Morgan Wallen, Riley Green, Lainey Wilson, Thomas Rhett, and others, with a slate of 2025 arena dates supporting Parker McCollum on tap. His new single, “Seventeen,” is spinning on nationwide country radio now
Originating as The Tennessee River Boys in the 80’s, the band evolved into Diamond Rio in 1989. The following year, they signed with Arista Nashville, and in 1991, with the release of “Meet in The Middle,” became the first country music group in history to reach No. 1 with a debut single. The band is also known for their multi-week chart-topper “How Your Love Makes Me Feel,” crossover hit “One More Day,” as well as timeless hits “Beautiful Mess,” “Unbelievable,” “I Believe,” and many more.
Selling more than 6.8 million albums and surpassing over 1.05 billion global streams, Diamond Rio has charted 20 Top 10 singles, 15 Top 5 singles, and seven No. 1 singles. Known for playing every note on every album throughout their career, the band’s unwavering commitment to their craft is evident in their instrumental tracks “Big,” “Appalachian Dream,” and “Poultry Promenade,” all of which received Grammy nominations for Best Country Instrumental Performance. Following their Arista Nashville deal, the band released two albums with Word Records – their Christmas album, The Star Still Shines, and their Dove and Grammy-winning Christian Country album, The Reason.
Amassing numerous accolades throughout the years, the band is a member of the Grand Ole Opry, won six Vocal Group of the Year Awards (four CMA and two ACM), received fourteen Grammy nominations, and won a Grammy Award for their album, The Reason. Known for their charitable commitments, including long-time spokespersons for Big Brothers Big Sisters, the band has raised more than $1 million for non-profits and received the Minnie Pearl Humanitarian Award.
