Lil Jon goes back to his roots in a big way as he has signed a long term deal to be Surrender Night Club’s resident DJ at the Las Vegas Wynn Hotel. At the end of each month, Lil Jon will return to the wheels of steel and it all kicks off on Nov. 24th.
“When I DJ I like to give people memories,” stated Mr. Lil Jon. “I want them to feel like it’s New Year’s Eve. I want them to release, to lose control and party, party, party! Surrender is an amazing venue and I cannot wait to make the people there get out of their mind!”

But this new site that popped up called YoungMoneyDebit.com seems a bit sketchy to me and has no clear affiliation with the real Young Money crew. Call me paranoid but no way am I putting my personal info. on that site.
