LL Cool J has recruited Saweetie for a new track “Proclivities,” which arrived alongside a Red Light District-themed visual.
The New York icon shared the clip on Friday (August 9), with the song scheduled to appear on his new album, The FORCE, out on September 6.
On the track, LL cooks up some raunchy lyrics, rapping: “Damn baby I don’t know if you dance or not/ I’d love to see you on the pole/ I don’t know if you conservative or if you a freak/ But I’d love to see you lose control.”
In the accompanying video, LL walks into after hours club called “Proclivities,” and acts out some of the fantasies in the song as Saweetie poses seductively.
Last month, LL shared the tracklist and release date for The FORCE, which will also feature Eminem, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and more.
Rick Ross and Fat Joe also lend their talents to the 14-track LP via the recent single “Saturday Night Special.”
The album also boasts some legendary firepower behind the boards, with Q-Tip producing the entire project.
LL Cool J spoke about Q-Tip producing The FORCE in a red carpet interview at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
“I know all the tricks. I got this covered,” he told E! News. “Look, it was executive produced by Q-Tip. The album I think is really, really special. I think it’s something it’s modern without chasing. It’s a whole new thing. I can’t wait for the people to see it.
“I think honestly and sincerely that Q-Tip as a producer is unbelievable and what he did on this record for me, I think is amazing. So the world will decide.”

Another legendary beatmaker was initially slated to handle production on the project.
Speaking with Angela Yee last year, LL revealed that Dr. Dre was originally supposed to helm the album and they even recorded dozens of songs together.
“So the real story is that I did about 30 to 40 songs with Dr. Dre, and in doing those songs, I felt like — the music was amazing, what Dre was bringing to the table was super dope — but I felt like the writing, what I was bringing to these songs didn’t feel strong enough to me,” he explained.
