The legendary LL Cool J gets back behind the mic for the first time in years to drop the brand new tune called, “Ratchet.” LL, real name James Todd Smith, has been busy working on his hit show NCIS as well as beating the breaks off of home invaders.

Cool James turns the clock back and tries to reclaim a bit of his youth by getting “ratchet” on this track. This is likely to land on his new upcoming album, Authentic Hip-Hop, which right now has no solid release date yet.

Not entirely sure if this is the route Cool James should be taking at this point in his career, but you know what they say. You can take someone out of Hip-Hop but you cannot take the Hip-Hop out of someone.

Check below and get a listen and download of LL’s new tune, “Ratchet.”
