Hip-hop owes a lot to LL Cool J. He's been in the business for more than twenty years, churning out memorable hits such as "Going Back to Cali" and "Mama Said Knock You Out." And sure, his acting career might have taken a nosedive since his debut in Krush Groove — but we forget all about Deep Blue Sea and Rollerball whenever a DJ cuts into "Rock the Bells." Now you can catch the two-time Grammy winner doing what he does best as he tours behind his latest album, Todd Smith.
