James Todd Smith III, better known as LL Cool J, is an American hip hop artist and actor. He is one of a few hip-hop stars of his era to sustain a successful recording career for more than two decades. He has released 12 albums and a greatest hits compilation. His next album, “Exit 13”, set to be released sometime in May, 2007, will be the last for LL’s record deal with Def Jam Recordings, a deal which has lasted more than twenty years, making it the longest single hip hop deal to date. He will be inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2007.
He received countless awards over the years, from the MTV Video Music Award for Best Rap Video and the MTV Video Music Vanguard Award, for “career achievement”, several NAACO Image Awards, 2 Grammy Awards, Soul Train and Billboard awards and the Source Foundation Image Award, for “his community work” in 2003.
