Mr. Smith is the sixth studio album by rapper LL Cool J, released in 1995. After the commercially disappointing 14 Shots to the Dome, it was a bit of a comeback for the artist, going 2x Platinum and spawning three top 10 hits "Hey Lover", "Doin' It", and "Loungin". Unlike his previous release, which focused on hardcore rap, this album sees LL concentrating on the ballads for which he is now famous.

Track Notes

  • No Airplay - edited on both the Edited and Explicit Versions of the Album, However the Explicit only backmasks on the song, the Edited version even edits the intro.
  • Hollis to Hollywood - sampled from his verse of Craig Mack's "Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)" on the chorus.
