About

LL COOL J is a two-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop icon whose trailblazing career is singular in its longevity and accolades: 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, millions of albums sold, the first rapper to receive a Kennedy Center Honor, successful actor and author, NAACP Image Award winner, co-founder/CEO of the Rock The Bells hip-hop festival and so much more. LL COOL J exploded onto the scene in the 1980s with pioneering hit singles like the rap-rock hybrid “Rock the Bells” and beatbox classics like “I Need a Beat” and “I Need Love.” The rapper’s confrontational, occasionally romantic lyricism would propel the genre to new heights on 1990’s multi-platinum Mama Said Knock You Out. Considered one of rap’s first superstars, LL COOL J has performed on sold-out tours with legends like Run-D.M.C., Janet Jackson and the Beastie Boys.

    First-OMG Questo produced this tour and the house band was The Roots! Black Thougth was so good! LL and crew haven't toured in a long time but this show was so 🔥 it was impossible to tell. Special guests DMC and Monie Love had my heart beating faster until Whodini showed up! 💯

    LL Cool J Concert Boston

    by Joy on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    The show was full of energy. From the beginning all the way to the end. So many different artists on one stage. I Love the fact that they had a Photo Booth set up where you could capture the moment of the 50th Hip Hop Pictures with your friends or love one for only $20.00 bucks

    Nostalgic

    by Lisa Hairston CRNP on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    I had the best time of my life… I am 53 years old, and the show took me back to High School. I remember every word to every song. I remember using a tape recorder, and turning it on and off to write the words in my notebook…. Also, singing the songs on the school bus plus in the cafeteria… Thank you for an absolutely extraordinary show We are so grateful for HipHop ❤️
