Lil Jon on Super Bowl, Meditation Album, and André 3000

Just a few days before he would make his inevitable appearance on Usher’s Super Bowl LVIII halftime stage, rapper-producer extraordinaire Lil Jon tells me about the self-soothing mantras that kicked his decade-long wellness journey up a notch. “My affirmations in my time of really finding meditation were ‘I am healthy, I am happy, and I am at peace,’” he said.
