Of AUTHENTIC, the Associated Press says the Album, "hit[s] all the right notes from romantic to raucous to punk," and PEOPLE magazine gives the Album 3 out of 4 stars, saying of LL, "On his 14th album, he mixes old-school hip-hop ("New Love") with rave-ready beats ("Not Leaving You Tonight")…[with] guest spots by Seal, Chuck D and Eddie Van Halen make the rest of Authentic feel like a rowdy A-List house party."

Celebrating his 30^th year in music, LL just wrapped his very successful "The Kings Of The Mic" Tour. The energetic and crowd-pleasing show visited thousands of fans in more than 29 cities across the country this summer.
