LL Cool J teamed up with hip-hop siren Saweetie for a sultry track off his new album, titled The FORCE.
“Proclivities is a fun song about the inner secrets we all have. It’s one of my favorites on the album. Keep it on repeat, baby!” LL said.
In the music video, LL strolls through a strip club packed with beautiful, scantily-clad strippers. He stalks the hallways like a hungry lion searching for meat.
LL’s target is Saweetie. But will he find her before another beauty catches his eye?
The 56-year-old grandfather raps:
-
Make the O face for me
Bounce your a*s on me
Turn around, bust it open
That’s a long story.
Give it to your man rough,
Baby where the handcuffs?
I’m a tie you up from the back while we stand up
Pulling on your hair
Kiss you from the side
Keep it right there
Slingshot ride.
The album also features star-studded collaborations with Eminem, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, and Busta Rhymes.
The rapper-turned-actor said he went back to the drawing board and learned how to rap all over again for his 1st studio album since 2013’s Authentic.
“Going back to the drawing board and learning how to rap again … making sure I was really inspired by the things I was saying. That’s why there isn’t a lot of fluff on this album,” LL said. “The LeBrons, the Stephs, the Jordans and the Kobes, they all go back to the drawing board. They always try to make themselves better. I wasn’t trying to do trendy, and I wasn’t trying to recapture anything I did before,” LL added.
The FORCE is produced by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip. The album drops September 6 on Def Jam Recordings and Virgin Music Group.
