Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Kennedy Center Honoree, two-time Grammy winner, and NAACP Image Award Winning MC, LL COOL J is set to re-release two of his most celebrated projects on vinyl. All World: Greatest Hits, and Phenomenon are due to be released on April 11 via Def Jam Recordings and Universal Music.

This reissue is actually a reintroduction, as LL celebrates 40 years since his debut, Radio, and Hip-Hop celebrates 50 years. These releases allow fans an opportunity to re-engage with the music that shaped the culture, and to own a piece of history. Both albums will be issued as limited edition variants on two LP's. Pre-order the vinyl here.

LL has also released the first ever video for his iconic 1985 single, "Rock The Bells". The video is directed by Gregory Brunkalla and shot in striking black-and-white. The video bridges generations, and pulses with the energy of modern-day New York, where subway riders, riverside crowds, and street cyphers rap along, keeping the fire of LL’s breakout era burning.
