LL Cool J 2023 Tour Announcement – The F.O.R.C.E. Live Tour Schedule
LL Cool J has just announced “The F.O.R.C.E. Live Tour,” his first full-length trek in 30 years! The iconic rapper plays alongside some of the genre’s biggest names, including Queen Latifah, Rakim, The Roots, Salt n’ Peppa, Common, Rick Ross, Jadakiss, and more. He’ll kick off on June 25th in Boston, MA, making 24 stops before wrapping up on September 3rd in Los Angeles, CA.
Can you think of a better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop? LL Cool J isn’t just a legendary rapper; he’s the legendary rapper. And this trek will prove it in full F.O.R.C.E. Are you hoping to hear songs from his 1985 debut, Radio? Or perhaps later projects like 1990’s Mama Said Knock You Out, 1995’s Mr. Smith, or 2000’s G.O.A.T.? Because nothing is off the table for the first LL Cool J tour in three decades, which tourmate Questlove hyped up by calling it “the Grammys on steroids.”
Remember the 2023 Grammys performance that brought practically every rapper in the world onstage for a 50th-anniversary tribute? Okay, that’s kind of an exaggeration, but it certainly felt that way. It’s hard to imagine a universe in which such an iconic show could be topped. But that’s exactly what Questlove is promising on The F.O.R.C.E. Live Tour. Every night will be a love letter to the genre as they spit out the most quintessential hip-hop hits of our time, which LL Cool J knows a thing or two about.
You see, he was one of the first rappers to achieve mainstream success, which was hardly an easy feat. Through every obstacle, LL Cool J managed to come out on top… and the result was mega-hits like ” Luv U Better,” “Hey Lover,” “Going Back to Cali,” “Rock the Bells,” and dozens more. It’s been a decade since he released his thirteenth and latest album, 2013’s Authentic. However, the 55-year-old has hinted that new music is on the way!
Essentially, 2023 is the best year ever for hip-hop fans. And when an LL Cool J tour only runs around once every few decades, you know you have to grab your tickets while you can. Check below to see if The F.O.R.C.E. Live Tour is coming to your city!
