LL Cool J has announced his first new studio album since 2013’s Authentic. The new album, The FORCE (“Frequencies of Real Creative Energy”), is out September 6 via Def Jam Recordings and Virgin Music Group. Guests on the album include Rick Ross and Fat Joe (on recent single “Saturday Night Special”), as well as Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Saweetie, Nas, and more. Below, watch the new video for the LP’s “Passion.”
A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip produced The FORCE. “We’re talking 14 tracks of straight fire, all crafted by myself and the one and only Q-Tip,” LL Cool J said in a press statement. “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.”
