- Radio is the debut album of American hip hop rapper LL Cool J, released November 18, 1985 on Def Jam Recordings. Recording sessions for the album took place at the Chung King House of Metal in New York City during 1984 and 1985, which followed the release of his debut single "I Need a Beat" (1984); the song was remixed by DJ Jazzy Jay for the album. LL Cool J's debut album was issued as the first full-length LP by the Def Jam label. Radio's production was primarily handled by record producer Rick Rubin. It contains heavy beats and energetic B-boy lyricism by LL Cool J. The sound of the album is mostly punctuated by DJ scratching and features occasional brief samples, which emphasize a downbeat. It also contains lyrical themes such as inner city culture, teenage promiscuity and braggadocio raps. Radio earned a significant amount of commercial success and sales for a hip hop record at the time. The album earned considerable Billboard chart success and sold in excess of 500,000 copies within its first five months of release. On April 19, 1989, it was certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), after sales in excess of one million copies. Initial criticism of the album was generally positive, as LL Cool J's lyricism and Rick Rubin's sparse, minimal production for Radio were praised by several music critics. It has since been recognized by critics as LL Cool J's greatest work. Reflecting the ghettoblaster and new school subculture of urban areas in the United States during the mid-1980s, Radio belonged to a pivotal moment in the history of hip hop culture and music. Its success helped contribute to the displacement of old school hip hop with the new school form, and to the mainstream success hip hop would experience during this period. Radio served as one of the first cohesive and commercially successful hip hop albums in the genre's history, and its success also served as a career breakthrough for LL Cool J and the album's producer Rick Rubin. Radio's rankings near the top of many "best album" lists have given it a reputation as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 478 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
