“We’re talking 14 tracks of straight fire, all crafted by myself and the one and only Q-Tip,” says the New York rapper and actor in a press release. “When you listen to this album, you’re not just hearing music, you’re experiencing a whole new vibe, a whole new level of artistic passion.”

L Cool J was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021. That same year, he was among the legendary hip-hop artists to attend a ground-breaking ceremony that marked the official launch of building for the new Universal Hip Hop Museum.
