Classic Hip-Hop is having a huge moment right now. Look no further than Rock The Bells itself, the popularity of Verzuz, and the planned blowout at the Super Bowl halftime show as proof. If LL COOL J is dropping an album it's not gonna be without flashy contributors who represent the past, present, and future of the culture.
When speaking at his induction ceremony, he commented, "Humility. I know I’m supposed to get up here and talk tough and talk shit, but nah. Humility. I’m not talking about that false, self-deprecating, I-bow-to-you-but-I think-I’m better than you shit. I’m talking about real humility, where you have the confidence to collaborate, the confidence to work with other people.The confidence to celebrate others."
It's been 8 years since LL COOL J's last project. If there is new music coming, you better believe he's bringing those who he felt represented him in one of the biggest moments of his career.
