LL Cool J - the first rap teen idol, first rapper with four consecutive albums, first to earn four gold singles, first to hit No. 1 R&B, first to headline "MTV Unplugged;" a multi-talented performer, actor (currently starring in the new TV series "NCIS: Los Angeles") and entrepreneur - opened the doors for rap's mass popularity.
Today, during Def Jam Recordings' 25th anniversary, he remains the exceptional hip-hop star who has flourished for that entire run - demonstrated by a new "best of" collection, All World 2 (Def Jam/UMe), to be released December 8, 2009. This new set not only fills in the gaps from 1996's platinum All World: Greatest Hits but updates LL's career with hits and favorite tracks released since then, while reprising a few cuts from his immensely successful career.
