LL Cool J joins Trevor and Eugene to look back at the journey from a kid riding mini bikes and dreaming big to one of hip-hop’s most enduring stars.
He shares stories about Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, the family values that kept him grounded, and why real reinvention requires letting go of your ego.
Along the way, LL explains why he believes intuition is God’s voice, why cynicism is cowardice in disguise, and how his grandfather’s belief in him helped turn a teenage dream into Radio.
