LL Cool J - The Force (2024)
LL Cool J’s The FORCE marks his return to form, his first album in over a decade. The project reunites him with Q-Tip, who handles most of the production, blending boom-bap with experimental and jazz-inflected beats. LL’s flow is razor-sharp, displaying the lyrical prowess and swagger that earned him his legendary status. Tracks like “Murdergram Deux,” where LL and Eminem engage in a bar-for-bar duel, and “Black Code Suite” highlight his dynamic energy. The album blends nostalgic boom-bap with modern sensibilities, offering a balance of introspection, braggadocio, and reflection on LL's 40-year career. Collaborations with Nas, Busta Rhymes, and Snoop Dogg further elevate the project
