The FORCE is streaming for a limited time
LL Cool J talked about his new album, The FORCE, collaborating with Eminem on the track “Murdergram Deux,” crediting Michael Jackson as a writer on the song “The FORCE,” learning to rap again, and much more during a track-by-track album special on his new SiriusXM channel, LL Cool J’s The FORCE Channel.
Featuring LL’s Rock the Bells Radio host Roxanne Shanté and a live audience, LL Cool J The Force Track-By-Track Album Special premieres on the channel on Friday, September 6th at noon ET and will be available to stream on the SiriusXM app. During the show, LL went through his process of working with Eminem.
“Me and Em actually went to Dr. Dre’s studio and recorded it out in LA,” LL Cool J says. “We went together in the studio. And the way the process was: I would write my rhyme. Then I would lay it. He would come in, he would hear it, I would leave. He would write his rhyme. He would record. And we went back and forth in the booth without seeing each other record until we did the very last thing together, where I kinda come together with him a little bit.”
LL Cool J’s The FORCE channel will be available on channel 79 through September 19th at 3 am ET in cars and through October 3rd at 3 am ET on the SiriusXM app.
You’ll hear songs from LL’s new album, The Force, and greatest hits from beloved albums like “Radio,” “Mama Said Knock You Out,” and “Mr. Smith,” as well as deep cuts, collaborations, and exclusive LL mixes by some of hip-hop’s best DJs.
In addition to this limited-run channel, LL Cool J also created and oversees LL Cool J’s Rock the Bells Radio (Ch. 43) and three other year-round SiriusXM channels and hosts the show Influence of Hip-Hop.
The FORCE (Frequencies of Real Creative Energy) is LL’s 14th studio album and his first in more than ten years.
