LL Cool J has revealed that G-Unit rapper 50 Cent is executively producing his next album – Todd Smith, Part 2: Back To Cool– due out in the fall.
"It’s my last Def Jam record so I wanted to make it something special, and something really unique, and kinda get back to my roots a little bit," said LL, whose 1985 album, Radio, was the label’s first full-length release.
"50 reminds me a lot of the things that I used to do and the places I used to be in my life, and I think we can have a good time together. … He’s talented and I feel like I have something I want to say – I think he can help me get it off my chest."
LL also announced that aside from 50 and his G-Unit team, there probably won’t be many guest appearances on the album. It would be a drastic change from his latest release, Todd Smith, which features several cameos including Mary J. Blige, Freeway, and Juelz Santana.
"I don’t know if I’m gonna do as many collaborations on this record," LL said. "I think that me and 50 is enough."
Both Queens-born rappers can currently be heard on LL’s "Freeze (Remix)," which also includes verses by Lloyd Banks and Hot Rod
