I’m am SUPER crunk (hint hint!) about this episode! Today’s guest is one of the most prominent figures in music and pop culture, a crossover multi-platinum selling household name, and one of the most recognized entertainers in the music industry. In case you haven’t guessed yet, I’m referring to the legendary, Grammy and Billboard award winning rapper, songwriter, front man of one of my favorite rap groups — Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz –, a fire record producer, and an insanely talented international DJ: Jonathan Smith AKA Lil Jon!!

EP 12: Love and Lighty: Go Where You Are Celebrated, Not Merely Tolerated — With Dave Lighty of ViolatorSouth

Today’s episode features a guest who’s worked behind the scenes to deliver some of the biggest hits from the 90s and 2000s, many of which are still personal favs and can solicit a clachet (classy ratchet lol) twerk at the drop of an “Hey Alexa”! Dave Lighty (brother of the late great hip-hop mogul, Chris Lighty) was the Manager of A&R at Def Jam. By the late ’90s, Dave moved to Jive Records to become the Sr. Director of A&R, where he held that position for over a decade. Today, he’s the Owner of ViolatorSouth, a record label, management and marketing company and a consultant at Odlight LLC, a brand strategies firm.
