#LilJon made his hit song “Tell Me When To Go” in just 10 minutes 🤯💿
The new documentary titled Something’s in the Water is a collaborative series from Bay Area rapper LaRussell and crunk pioneer Lil Jon. Released in episodes starting around early March 2026 (with Part 1 and Episode 1 out first, followed by Part 2/Episode 2 shortly after), it explores their intergenerational partnership, creative process, and shared Bay Area roots. It dives into how Lil Jon produced iconic hyphy-era tracks like “Tell Me When to Go” (with E-40) and other major Bay hits, while showing behind-the-scenes moments of their collaboration, including crafting new music together. The project highlights the unlikely but powerful connection between the two artists from different generations and eras—one a veteran who helped shape Southern and Bay sounds in the 2000s, the other a rising independent voice paying homage to that legacy. It emphasizes gratitude, production insights (like the difference between producers and beat makers), and cultural impact, with fans praising the respectful energy and nostalgic vibes in the episodes available on platforms like YouTube and Instagram.
