Magazine<\/a>, Lil Jon spoke about his son\u2019s music career. The famous rapper said he has given his son a lot of advice about the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s 26 now, and he\u2019s in the music business. He\u2019s an engineer and an artist,\u201d Lil Jon said. \u201cHe started off as a DJ, and he knows it\u2019s one of those songs you have to play. We haven\u2019t talked about how he feels about it, but I\u2019m sure he likes it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lil Jon also said it was \u201ccool\u201d that his son is in the same business as he is. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know what he was going to be when he was younger. I wasn\u2019t trying to influence him to be in music,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe had a natural musical ear. I remember he was 11 years old and we were in the car and the DJ was mixing on the radio and he could tell what song was coming in before it came on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noting the advice he has given to his son, Lil Jon said, \u201cAs he\u2019s gotten older, he talks to me a lot more and asks for more advice because he literally got an encyclopedia of music right here. He will come and talk to me and ask me things and even play me some of music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t like to play me his music all the time because I\u2019m kind of critical,\u201d he added. \u201cBut he will play me his music, and he\u2019ll make the changes or it might inspire something else.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.suggest.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DJ Young Slade, the son of rap legend Lil Jon, has been reported missing after being last seen running out of his Georgia residence.
