LL Cool J Will Be Dropping New Album This Year

The hip-hop world is always an ever-changing industry, as both young and old rappers can drop banger tracks and albums at the drop of a hat. Many rappers have promised to drop some fire tracks this year. Now it seems LL Cool J is the latest among them. This is because he wants to drop an album this year.

For those who have not been keeping count, it has been more than a decade since LL Cool J released an album. He last released his Authentic album, which dripped all the way back in 2013.

Given his extensive and well-regarded catalog of music, as well as his significant impact on the industry, he has generated high expectations for his upcoming musical endeavors this year.

The legendary rapper took to his Twitter and officially dropped a tease regarding his upcoming album, on the occasion of his 55th birthday. He shared a video of DJ Z-Trip gifting him a custom art piece.

“I’m competing with myself on this new album. Wait til you hear this MF. This year B. It’s coming.”

It had been five years since his previous album, “Authentic,” was released, prior to his departure from Def Jam. During his tenure at the iconic label, he consistently released albums every two to three years from 1987 to 2008. We’ll have to see when LL Cool J will finally drop his next album.
