Veteran rapper LL Cool J's next album, G.O.A.T. 2, is currently in the works, and it's set to feature T.I., J. Cole, Raekwon,Loaded Lux, Murda Mook, Uncle Murda, Maino, Mavado and Fred The Godson. Today, he shares a track from the project that features a smaller name, Lil Leaky. It's entitled "Tell Tha World."

The song's built around a warm, inviting soul sample, which is flipped to perfection, rendering the vocal samples into the chipmunk territory. LL Cool J addresses a bunch of NY classics, such as his own "Rock The Bells" and Notorious B.I.G.'s "Who Shot Ya." An ill track.

Quotable Lyrics:

I wanted cheese out the trap, but my man got knocked
It was divine intervention when them bells got rocked
Wasn't no lawyers on my street, wasn't no doctors on my block
Sometimes I couldn't sleep thinkin' 'bout who got shot
