Radio - LL Cool J
478/500
LL Cool J was only sixteen when he released his first single, "I Need a Beat." A year later, he had the first hit on the fledgling Def Jam label. The sound he and producer Rick Rubin found on hits such as "I Can't Live Without My Radio," "That's a Lie" and "Rock the Bells" was harder and leaner than hip-hop had ever been before.
