LL Cool J’s Radio remains a seminal work in the history of hip-hop. At the time of its release it was a bold declaration of LL’s lyrical prowess and Rick Rubin’s innovative production techniques, defining an era with its raw lo-fi beats, LL’s charismatic flow, and the blend of old school and new school hip hop techniques. Tracks like “Rock the Bells” and “I Can’t Live Without My Radio” showcase what makes Radio such a defining record during the Golden Age of Hip Hop– unapologetic confidence, street-smart swagger, and the willingness to tell everyone all about it.
