Help leading the charge was Lil Jon &amp; The East Side Boyz with their 2002 multi-platinum album <strong><em>Kings of Crunk <\/em><\/strong>which included the hit \u201cGet Low\u201d. Busta Rhymes would ultimately hop on the remix accompanied by Elephant Man and the Ying Yang Twins the following year. Busta later on that same year linked up with Bone Crusher\u2019s\u00a0 \u201cNever Scared\u201d remix alongside Cam\u2019ron and Jadakiss from the album <strong><em>AttenChun!<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lil Jon &amp; The Eastside Boyz \u2013 Get Low (remix) feat.

Then in 2006 Busta Rhymes ties with the southern hip hop movement were solidified with the release of the mixtape <strong><em>The Crown<\/em><\/strong>. The project was orchestrated by DJ Drama and part of the popular \u201cGangsta Grillz\u201d series. A number of prominent southern artists would link up with Busta on the project including T.I., Slim Thug, and Lil Wayne.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>David Banner \u2013 Like a Pimp (remix) feat.
