LL Cool J Is Back With ‘The Force’ After 10-Year Hiatus: Stream It Now


LL Cool J is back with his highly anticipated 14th studio album, The Force, which dropped on Sept. 6.

The release comes after a 10-year break from music, during which the Long Island-born, Queens-raised rapper focused on other ventures, including his acting career and hosting gigs. The Force also marks a milestone in LL’s career, as it coincides with the 40th anniversary of Def Jam Records, the label where his legendary journey began at just 16 years old. Produced by Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest, The Force boasts a lineup of collaborations with heavyweights like Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Busta Rhymes, and Rick Ross.
