Artist Biography

James Todd Smith (born January 14, 1968) is an American hip hop artist better known by his stage name, LL Cool J ("Ladies Love Cool James").

He is best known for romantic ballads like I Need Love as well as hardcore rap like I Can't Live Without My Radio. He has also appeared in several films. He is seen as a sex symbol, and a ladies man, because of his "flirtatious" lip-licking, and his muscular body. LL Cool J represents an important figure within the hip hop community, and is currently one of the few hip-hop stars of his era to sustain a successful recording career for more than a decade.

Trivia: LL's Lip-licking is actually a nervous habit he picked up during his youth.
