LL Cool J

LL Cool J is back, finally! His last ever album for Def Jam, "Exit 13" was originally supposed to be released in 2007 with 50 Cent acting as executive producer, but 85% of the album was scrapped and reworked. 50 Cent is also no longer overseeing the project but will still appear on a song or two. "Exit 13" will also be the first album from LL to feature a "parental advisory" sticker since his "G.O.A.T" album in the late 90s. LL discusses the album in this interview. He says that he took a 2 year break from acting and all the extracurricular stuff to re-dedicate himself to music. I have no doubt this will shine through on his album. I can't wait to hear it! LL is one of those rappers that I miss, from Mama Said Knock You Out to Phenomenon he delivers and really is one of the greatest.
There are a few tracks that have been leaked onto the net which are said to be from his upcoming album, but here is one of the harder ones "Queens" on which he collaborates with G Unit & Kool G Rap. In it, he takes a swipe at Def Jam for their handling of him and his album.
Hopefully there will be some better tracks on the album too, enjoy!
