Coming off the release of his new album, LL COOL J recreated the opening of his Bad album for the lead-in of his new video, “Murdergram Deux,” which features Eminem. The two exchange bars in the vibrant, knocking music video, which you can see below.
Earlier this month, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and two-time Grammy® Award-winning Hip-Hop icon LL COOL J released his first album in over a decade, THE FORCE (Frequencies of Real Creative Energy), via Def Jam Recordings / Virgin Music Group. This 14-track record, entirely produced by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip, marks a significant moment in both LL’s career and the Hip-Hop landscape. The album combines modern sounds with classic Hip-Hop energy, showcasing LL’s enduring passion and creativity.
LL describes the album as a return to his roots, likening it to “learning how to rap again.” The project reflects his evolution and unwavering dedication, with THE FORCE opening with the powerful track “Spirit of Cyrus,” featuring a smooth hook by Snoop Dogg. The album also includes collaborations with Nas, Eminem, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Saweetie, and more. Notably, “Huey In Da Chair” pays tribute to LL’s aunt, Joan, a pioneering Black Panther.
A highlight of the album is the lead single, “Murdergram Deux,” featuring Eminem. This track exemplifies both artists’ lyrical prowess and raw energy, setting the stage for an intense and memorable listening experience. The music video for “Murdergram Deux,” which is set to be released soon, promises to be a visual spectacle.
“It feels good to finally have this record out in the world,” LL said. “As I’ve said before, this album brings a whole new vibe. I’m returning to my roots…you all better buckle up.”
THE FORCE tackles themes such as racial injustice, isolation during the pandemic, and LL’s legacy in Hip-Hop, blending profound insights with compelling beats. With this release, LL COOL J continues to push boundaries, proving that greatness endures and continues to inspire.
