After over a year of anticipation (and plenty of buzz singles), LL Cool J has finally released the official first single from his thirteenth and final album on Def Jam, Exit 13. As the father of the rap ballad (see I Need Love from ‘87), Mr. Smith once again proves just how committed he is to his woman of eleven years with Cry. Lil’ Mo, hook-singer extraordinaire of the NYC rap scene, belts strong, soulful vocals that bring you back to late-‘90s/early-‘00s-era hip-hop. Accented by producer Raw Uncut‘s classic Northeastern-sounding production, Cry will certainly be a summer smash, especially among the ladies and the old-timers.

I am not feeling this as a first single. Who knows ... it might grow on me. I expect big things from LL on this album; he's last two albums were below LL standards. Lil' Mo sounds good.

This is a Jay-z type song right here as far as the beat. Belongs on Blueprint one in my opinion. LL been doin this for along time. This is better than some of his last stuff. I like this, but I want him to bring some of taht solid lyricism again. He , unlike plies can reach the ladies as well as us, when he puts his heart into it. This is a good track.

This is the type of music I LOVED hearing in high school. Strong East Coast beat, plus the legend and the hookwoman enhance it EXCELLENTLY. A lot of you are dissing him, but if Fabolous were on there, you'd be praising it! As it is, I'm giving it a 5 simply because it brings back such great memories.
