In addition to LL’s new album which features Eminem, Fat Joe, Rick Ross and Nas, LL Cool J is planning to release a new book titled The Streets Win: 50 Years of Hip-Hop Greatness.

The vibrant imagery is accompanied by first-person stories told by icons including DJ Kool Herc, Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte, KRS-One, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Grandmaster Flash, Run-D.M.C., Beastie Boys, De La Soul, Slick Rick, Public Enemy, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Big Daddy Kane, Fat Joe, DJ Khaled and more.
The book features images by celebrated Hip-Hop photographers including Joe Conzo Jr., Ernie “Brother Ernie” Paniccioli, Jonathan Mannion, Janette Beckman, Estevan Oriol, Jamel Shabazz, Mike Miller, Clay Patrick McBride, and others who documented the growth of Hip-Hop from its early days.
