LL Cool J Announces First Album in 11 Years with New Passion Video

LL Cool J is back with a brand-new album after a decade-long break.

His latest work, The FORCE (which stands for “Frequencies of Real Creative Energy”), will be released on September 6 through Def Jam Recordings and Virgin Music Group. The album features collaborations with stars like Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Saweetie, Nas, and others. You can check out the video for the song "Passion" below.

Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest produced The FORCE. LL Cool J mentioned in a press statement that this album has 14 amazing tracks created by him and Q-Tip. He said listening to it is not just about hearing music but feeling a new vibe and artistic passion.
