Lil Jon & The Orchard Make a Deal

The Orchard and Lil Jon yesterday announced a "comprehensive pact":

The Orchard will digitally reissue Lil Jon's back catalogue (which it now owns through the TVT acquisition), including Put Yo Hood Up, Kings of Crunk and 2004's smash Crunk Juice. Lil Jon will provide new content as a part of this campaign.

Lil Jon will also apply his proven creative talents in support of Orchard's Brand Entertainment group, working with brands and agencies to develop innovative new lifestyle-oriented marketing and promotion programs. In addition, Lil Jon and The Orchard have committed to collaborate on additional opportunities including select A&R and production support to Orchard artists and labels.

Lil Jon and The Orchard are committed to collaborating on new business ventures wherever possible in the future, which may include The Orchard providing marketing and distribution support for new future Lil Jon recordings or compilations.

As a part of the accord, Lil Jon has withdrawn his multi-million-dollar objection to the TVT sale proceedings, and agreed to TVT's transfer of his artist recording agreement to The Orchard. The Orchard has in turn, released Jon from all future obligations under this previous TVT contract and agreed that Lil Jon owns all rights in the master recordings for his forthcoming and highly anticipated album "Crunk Rock".

Sounds like a great deal for Lil Jon.

On an odd note, though the press release includes multiple instances of the work "crunk", the following terms are absent which would affect things like search engine results for this document on the open web:
hip hop, hip-hop, hiphop
rap, rapper
