LL Cool J has been extremely successful in making songs for female rap fans, but with his latest album, ‘G.O.A.T 2′ he’s appealing to the guys.
In his new video for the song ‘The Hustler,’ featuring Mavado, the legendary lyricist details the street life as a bevy of lovely ladies, dudes with motorcycles and his Queens, N.Y. neighborhood are all shown in the background. You’ll also see a bunch of Jamaican flags being waived as Mavado brings a heavy Caribbean vibe to the visual.
LL also doesn’t look anywhere near his age in the clip. The 46-year-old, sporting a dope red jean jacket, a slick black top and a couple of gold links, could easily pass for a rapper half his age.
And lyrically, the rapper-turned-actor hasn’t lost a step since releasing his last album, ‘Authentic,’ in 2013. “These choices led to Rolls Royces / The 88 gates talking with different voices,” he spits.
‘The .G.O.A.T. 2,’ his 14th album, is slated to be released later this year.
