\n\tLil Jon transported the 2024 Democratic National Convention to Atlanta when he made a surprise appearance to share the Georgia delegates\u2019 votes for Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a> during the DNC roll call on Tuesday night (Aug. 20).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe roll call took on a new format this year, with DJ Cassidy introducing each state with its own song. The Georgia delegates took it one step further when their hometown hero turned up to share their 123 votes for Harris.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGeorgia, how do you cast your votes?,\u201d the announcer asked, as Jermaine Dupri\u2019s \u201cWelcome to Atlanta\u201d could be heard playing in the background. As the music shifted to DJ Snake and Lil Jon\u2019s 2013 club banger \u201cTurn Down for What,\u201d the camera panned to the Atlanta rapper\/producer walking down the stairs and letting out his signature \u201cYeahhhhh!,\u201d which reverberated across Chicago\u2019s United Center.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLadies and gentlemen, we are here tonight to officially nominate Kamala Harris for president,\u201d Lil Jon hollered before rapping, \u201cFire up that loud, another round of shots\/ DNC, turn down for what!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLil Jon made his way through the crowd \u2014 starting chants of \u201cWe\u2019re not going back!\u201d and \u201cVP Harris!\u201d \u2014 before ending on the floor with the Georgia delegates to officially cast their votes.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition the DJ Cassidy-led roll call and Lil Jon cameo, Patti LaBelle and Common also performed<\/a> on day 2 of the DNC. LaBelle performed \u201cYou Are My Friend\u201d for the night\u2019s \u201cin memoriam\u201d segment, while Common performed \u201cFortunate,\u201d switching up the lyrics to say \u201cBe fortunate, y\u2019all, for Kamala Harris.\u201d Monday\u2019s DNC day 1 included performances from Jason Isbell and Mickey Guyton<\/a>, while James Taylor\u2019s planned set was cut for time<\/a> when President Biden\u2019s remarks started much later than the schedule intended.<\/p>\n
