LL Cool J Reveals Tracklist for ‘The FORCE,’ Says He Had to Learn ‘How to Rap Again’ For First Album in 11 Years

LL COOL J dropped the track list for his 14th album, 'THE FORCE,' and said that after 11 years away from the game he had to learn 'how to rap again.'

One of the most beloved MCs of all-time has been away for the game for such an extended period that some newer fans might only know him as the host of the Grammy Awards (2012-2016) and that jacked guy from Hawaii Five-O and NCIS: Hawai’i. He is, of course, a Grammy- and Billboard Music Award-winning rap legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honoree who has merely taken a powder from his MC duties to pursue some other interests for the past decade-plus. Among the guests joining him on the collection are: Snoop Dogg (“Spirit of Cyrus”), Rick Ross and Fat Joe (“Saturday Night Special”), Sona Jobarteh (“Black Code Suite”), Saweetie (“Proclivities”), Busta Rhymes (“Huey in Da Chair”), Nas (“Praise Him”), Eminem (“Murdergram Deux”) and Mad Squablz, J-S.A.N.D.
