LL Cool J at age 17 and DJ Cut Creator perform live. June 21, 1985, Colby College, Waterville Maine. 5 months before Radio was released. Rap of Maine.
The announcer and singer at the end is Cornell Clark, who LL has described as his mentor. LL was paid $500 for the show. Since he was the only rap act, he was worried it would a be short performance, so my dad suggested he fill it in with the scratching and beatboxing education.
