Phenomenon is the seventh studio album by rapper LL Cool J. After the success of his previous release Mr. Smith, the same basic principles are followed here, with several R&B-influenced tracks, and a couple of more hardcore rap tracks. The album was certified Platinum, unlike Mr. Smith, which was certified 2x Platinum. The album is executively produced by Sean "Puffy" Combs and therefore features production from his in-house roster of producers The Hitmen. Marketing: David A. Belgrave.

Mr. Smith was the third comeback for LL Cool J, the third time he returned to commercial and creative strengths after being written off by many critics and fans. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that its follow-up, Phenomenon, finds LL coasting - after all, after his two previous comeback albums, he allowed himself to slacken the pace a little bit and ride on his credentials.

Executive producers for LL Cool J, In. Violator Records, . and Bad Boy Productions. Manufactured and marketed by Def Jam Recordings. LL Cool J. Phenomenon ‎(Cass, Album, Cle).

Phenomenon is the 7th studio album by rapper LL Cool J. The album is executively produced by Sean Puffy Combs and therefore features production from his in-house roster of producers The Hitmen.
