“I never could have predicted that I’d still
be rocking the mic more than two decades after my
debut, but here I am,” LL Cool J says with a
smile.
Here he is indeed. Nearly 25 years since he first
burst onto the scene, LL Cool J continues his
vibrant, trailblazing career with the release of
EXIT 13, his appropriately titled 13th album for
the only label he has called home - Def Jam
Recordings.
EXIT 13 is a study in contrast and showcases LL
Cool J’s duality. “Depending on my mood, I can
be aggressive, explosive and in-your-face, or
alternately suave, smooth and sensual. It’s no
secret that I like making love songs as much as I
like to lay down rhymes,” commented LL. With a
career chock full of both and a new album packed
with collaborators as diverse as 50 Cent, Wyclef
Jean, Richie Sambora and The Dream, and producers
such as Suits, DJ Scratch, Ilfonics and Raw Uncut,
EXIT 13 is the album LL Cool J fans have been
clamoring for – full of passion, braggadocio and
smooth rhymes. “When it came time for me to go
into the studio, I tried to make this project as
relevant as my first, and having that sense of my
career coming full circle. Believe me, it was a
blessing to be able to go back into the studio and
create this album.”
Joining forces with 50 Cent on a track called
“Heartbeat,” the two Queens natives rap over a
stripped down track, while sounding like they are
having a good time. “It’s a song about role
playing,” says LL of “Heartbeat.” On the
tracks “Rocking With The Goat,” LL taps into
his native New Yorker persona, and teams with
labelmates The Dream on EXIT 13’s first single
“Baby.” The track, which recently debuted on
the Billboard charts, marks LL’s 42nd career
chart debut.
What began for LL Cool J in the nascent,
burgeoning rap and hip hop scene of the 80’s,
has now seeped throughout the musical and cultural
phenomenon that is today’s hip hop. All the
while, LL Cool J has remained a musical and
cultural force, a living icon and a significant,
relevant artist still churning out the hits.
First introduced to the world in 1984 as a Def Jam
Records flagship artist, LL is the first rap
artist to amass ten consecutive platinum-plus
selling albums, while 2004’s “THE
DEFinition” and 2006’s “Todd Smith” both
went Gold. He is currently tied for third place
for most Billboard chart debuts by a rapper.
As an entertainer, he has succeeded in crossing
into multiple mediums. Already a talented actor,
author, recording artist, two-time Grammy Award
winner and NAACP Image Award winner, LL continues
to display his wide range of talents in his
projects.
