Crunk Juice is the fifth album by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz and is Lil Jon's third notable album, after Put Yo Hood Up and Kings of Crunk, respectively. Although he had two albums released prior to Put Yo Hood Up, they were much more low-profile, and did not have many/any successful singles.

Lil Jon's hits "What U Gon' Do", "Real Nigga Roll Call" and "Lovers & Friends" are on this album, as well as contributions from numerous artists, including Bo Hagon, Lil Scrappy, Trillville, and three interludes from Chris Rock. Many of these artists had already attained popularity throughout the southeast United States.

Several tracks were not included on the album, including "Rollin'", featuring Timbaland and D.O.E.

The second single, "Real Nigga Roll Call", set a Guinness Record for a song with the most expletives with 295 swear words.[2]

The album also contains also one Rapcore track and one Nu metal one ("White Meat" and "Stop Fuckin' Wit Me", respectively). A follow-up, Crunk Juice Deluxe Edition, contains remixes of "Real Nigga Roll Call", changing the Crunk beat to a Nu metal one. There is a Chopped & Screwed version of the album done by Michael 5000 Watts of the Swishahouse. Track 6 (Da Blow) samples a verse by Playa Fly off the song sippin and spinnin remix.
