Lil Jon, legendary rapper and music producer, joins TODAY to share details about his first-ever memoir "I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me," which stories his childhood and rise up the Atlanta music scene. The musician also opens up about the discovery that the man who raised him is not his biological father, the loss of his son, and how performing helped him overcome his grief. "I realized I hadn't given myself time to really grieve," he says. "And, that I needed to be on that stage to feel the positivity from the audience and to be on tour and to learn to laugh again with my crew and to just have a good time again."
