Any way you spin it, LL Cool J — rap legend, actor, freestyling TV host — is a triple threat. The two-time Grammy winner is not only back in the recording studio, working on a hip-hop album slated to drop soon, but also fronts Spike’s wildly popular “Lip Sync Battle,” and he has a starring role on CBS’s hit police drama “NCIS: Los Angeles.” The 48-year-old Queens native, who’s also known for his impeccable personal style and sculpted body, lives between New York and Los Angeles with his wife, Simone, and their four children. Here, he gives Alexa the inside scoop on his trademark swagger.
