LL COOL J has dropped a new single produced by Q-Tip titled “The Force” — check it out below.
The track, which LL debuted on Rock The Bells Radio on Thursday (May 4), serves as the first preview of his upcoming 14th studio album, which will be produced entirely by the A Tribe Called Quest luminary.
“The Force” borrows sonic elements from Tip’s 1999 Amplified cut “End of Time” and lists the late, great Michael Jackson as a co-songwriter.
“THE FORCE,” LL COOL J wrote on Twitter after premiering the song. “This album is my contribution to the culture. watch it unfold.”
