LL Cool J has finally released his new album THE FORCE tonight.
The project is LL’s 14th studio album and his first in more than 10 years. The veteran rapper has been teasing the release of the album for quite some time. Entirely produced by Q-Tip, the project features 14 tracks and special guest appearances from Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Saweetie, Busta Rhymes, Nas, and more.
Cool J set up the album with multiple leading singles including ‘Murdergram Deux‘ with Eminem. LL revealed that a music video for the song is coming as well.
“Me and Em actually went to Dr. Dre’s studio and recorded it out in LA,” LL COOL J said about the collab on SiriusXM. “We Went together in the studio. And the way the process was: I would write my rhyme. Then I would lay it. He would come in, he would hear it, I would leave. He would write his rhyme. He would record. And we went back and forth in the booth without seeing each other record until we did the very last thing together, where I kinda come together with him a little bit.”
