Best of LL Cool J: Rock the Bells, Mama Said Knock You Out & Beyond

LL Cool J might be the most underrated MC in hip-hop history. Not because people don't know him, but because the full depth of what he did from 1985 through the mid-90s doesn't get the credit it deserves. The man bridged boom bap and R&B before that was a strategy, made hard records and soft records and somehow never lost either audience, and did it all out of Queens before Queens rap was a thing. This mix runs the full range. Radio joints, deep cuts, the Canibus beef record, the Eminem collab that most people lost track of, and I Need a Beat because it started there.
