Get Crunk, Who U Wit: Da Album is the debut studio album by American Southern hip hop group Lil' Jon & the East Side Boyz. It was released on October 21, 1997, via Mirror Image Entertainment. The recording sessions took place at Entertainment International Studios, Purple Dragon Studios and KALA Studios in Atlanta. The production was handled by Lil' Jon and DJ Toomp, with Kool-Ace and Carlos Glover serving as executive producers. It features guest appearances from Playa Poncho, Disco Rick, DJ Kizzy Rock, Kool-Ace, Darryl E., DJ Pryme, Shorty Pimp, Jazze Pha, Romance and the East Side Girlz, with cameo appearances from Ayuna Burnett, Chris Smith, Nikki Jones, Jermaine Dupri, Emperor Searcy, Greg Street, Robert McDowell, Candice Austin, Stephanie Holder, Dee Dee Hibbler-Murray and Organized Noize's Ray Murray.

The album did not reach the US music charts, however, its singles "Who U Wit?" and "Shawty Freak a Lil Sumtin'" found minor success on the Billboard charts. "Who U Wit?" made it to the No. 70 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 26 on the Hot Rap Songs. "Shawty Freak a Lil Sumtin'" peaked at No. 62 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 32 on the Hot Rap Songs.

The album was reissued in 2001 with a bonus song "2 Step Drop" that featured Genuwine Leather, K-Hood, Kee Wee, Kool-Ace, Mic O'Mill, Ragga & Stretch. Some of the songs off of the album were included in 2003 Certified Crunk in slightly remixed form.
