Manifestation only works when you stop doubting, and sometimes what you end up manifesting is peace.
Lil Jon, the award-winning producer behind Yeah and Turn Down for What, sat down with Lewis to talk about turning 50 and realizing he could not name a single thing that made him happy except doing things for other people.
He shares how his daily affirmations inside a copper pyramid carried him through a divorce after 18 years, and why he finally called his old mentor Paul Lewis to apologize 25 years too late. He goes deeper in his book I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me, along with the meditation and gratitude habits that rebuilt his happiness.
You also hear how his album Crunk Rock flopped without a single song landing. He kept producing anyway, and the next thing he made was Turn Down for What.
After a therapy session helped him see his son’s side of a tense call, Lil Jon phoned him back and said, "I’m sorry. I hear you and I see you." His son was gone the next morning.
