Lil Jon Shares His Top 3 Jet Lag Hacks That Keep Him Energized on Tour-Plus His Go-to Travel Playlist (Exclusive)

"If you're traveling, the soundtrack is everything. It depends on where you're going. If you're going to Vegas, you want to play some party tunes. You play 'Get Low,' play some EDM songs, play whatever you want to hear that's going to turn you up! But let's say you're sightseeing, you're going on a cross-country trip, you might not want to be as hyped."

"It's something more R&B, 90s R&B, 2000s R&B, you know, chill. Or, I get into a vibe where I listen to some Jon Batiste. I like the album he put out recently called 'Beethoven Blues.' A lot of that type of new age piano music, that's good stuff. It just depends on where you're going, and how hyped or how not hyped you want to be."

"Set it to the time zone you're in. I carry that with me when I'm doing long flights for five hours or more, and I want to get over the jet lag quicker," he told Travel + Leisure in a recent interview."

Travel soundtracks determine trip vibes and should match destination and desired energy. Party music such as 'Get Low' and EDM suits destinations like Las Vegas and other high-energy settings. Sightseeing or cross-country trips pair better with chill R&B from the 1990s and 2000s or new age piano like Jon Batiste's Beethoven Blues. Jonathan Smith (Lil Jon) has toured globally since 2000 with artists including Usher, Eminem, Ludacris, Ciara, and Akon. He performed at the 2024 Super Bowl and will tour with Mariah Carey beginning this month in Australia. For jet lag, an LED light set to the destination time zone helps reset circadian rhythm.
