Crunk Juice is the fifth and final studio album by American hip hop group Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, released in November 16, 2004, on TVT/BME. The production was handled by Lil Jon himself, who also collaborated in the executive production, alongside Bryan Leach, Rob McDowell, Emperor Searcy, Vince Phillips, The Neptunes's Pharrell and Hugo, and Rick Rubin. The album contains numerous collaborations from rappers and singers, like R. Kelly, Ludacris, Ice Cube, Usher, Bun B from UGK, Jadakiss, Nas, T.I., the Ying Yang Twins and Pharrell among others. Lil Jon's next solo album, 2010's Crunk Rock, did not feature the East Side Boyz.

Three of four singles released from the album have music videos: "What U Gon Do", "Real Nigga Roll Call", and "Lovers and Friends". The fourth single, "Get Crunk", did not have a music video, though it was released on vinyl and got radio airplay.

The album was certified 2x platinum by the RIAA in 2005 for sales of over 2 million copies less that 2 weeks after its initial release.

Crunk Juice is also the name of a once popular flavored malt beverage launched by Gila Brew Co., LLC. It was made by 7th Street Brewing. They announced in 2011 they were going to relaunch the brand and have new package designs and a new flavors with a smoother taste. It is already available to buy in several major US cities like Philadelphia.
