LL Cool J

Hip-hop owes a lot to LL Cool J. He’s been in the business for more than 20 years, churning out memorable hits such as “Goin’ Back to Cali” and “Mama Said Knock You Out.” Sure, his acting career might have taken a nose dive since his debut in Krush Groove. But we forget all about Deep Blue Sea and Rollerball whenever a DJ cuts into “Rock the Bells.” Now you can catch the two-time Grammy winner doing what he does best. His latest album, Todd Smith, just hit shelves, and with only two stops on this tour (Kansas City and NYC), you can’t afford to miss one of the most successful rappers of all time.
