Not only will Queens, New York veteran emcee-turned-actor LL Cool J be narrating the Mayweather documentary, he will be premiering one of his tracks off his upcoming album Authentic entitled “We’re The Greatest” in it. It will feature guitar sounds by the legendary Eddie Van Halen.

In regards to the new record LL told Radio.com, “It’s not necessarily about me and Eddie [Van Halen], per se. It’s about people that kinda get tossed aside, forgotten about, kicked down, and then they make a comeback in life and they regain that ground that they had lost, and then some.”

LL Cool J‘s Authentic will release on April 30.
