LL Cool J Tells The Story Of Hip-Hop’s Origin During Powerful Performance

“Break beats played, he had a speaker for a crib, she screamed ‘Jack the Rip!’ and ignited his gifts,” LL Cool J rapped. “To the parents he’s a legend, to the children a myth/Here’s ya firsthand experience with Mr. Smith, alias Mr. ‘Killing-Every-Rapper-In-His-Radius’, cyphers like a stadium, bars is vibranium.”

At the end of his impactful poem, LL reminded the crowd that his new album is coming soon. Over the roars of cheers he got from the crowd, the rapper-actor told the crowd his “new record is coming soon.” The seasoned artist has been teasing his new project for quite some time. At one point, he told his social media followers that he considered not releasing the LP. Fortunately for fans, LL admitted he was just trolling and confirmed his plans to drop his Q-Tip-produced album.

“I know all the tricks. I got this covered,” LL previously said about the project. “Look, it was executive produced by Q-Tip. The album I think is really, really special. I think it’s something it’s modern without chasing. It’s a whole new thing. I can’t wait for the people to see it.”

LL Cool J’s album doesn’t have a release date yet.
