Tom Joyner’s Ultimate Party with a Purpose has just added Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, two-time Grammy Award-winning Hip-Hop artist, actor, and entrepreneur LL COOL J to their already stellar cruise line-up.
The Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage was created by trailblazing retired radio host and philanthropist Tom Joyner as a fundraiser to support students in schools at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The long-running music and empowerment-themed event generally features more than 60 LIVE entertainment acts, seminars, daily inspiration, celebrities, and fun theme nights.
Multihyphenate LL COOL J (an acronym for “Ladies Love Cool James”) is a global musical icon that blasted onto the scene from Queens, New York when he was only 16 years old. Since then, LL COOL J has garnered the uncontested respect of the music industry, multimillions of fans, movie box office, and dedicated viewers in front of the TV screens. LL COOL J has had many chart-topping hits over the years, including “Mama Said Knock You Out,” “I Need Love,” “Phenomenon,” and “Around The Way Girl.”
In March 2018, LL launched his own SiriusXM classic Hip-Hop channel entitled “LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells Radio.” The channel features a wide range of classic Hip-Hop content, music, interviews, and in-depth retrospectives curated, programmed, and presented by the award-winning artist. Since founding the radio station, Rock The Bells has developed into a full-fledged company that has become the preeminent voice for classic and timeless Hip-Hop. Rock The Bells focuses on content, commerce, and experiences that honor the culture and the core elements of Hip-Hop – MCs, DJs, break-dancers, graffiti artists, and more. Driven by the past, inspired by the now, and energized by the future, Rock The Bells is the bridge between OGs and those inspired by their groundbreaking influences on the culture.
The cruise sets sail from Miami from November 6 – 14, 2021, with stops in St. Maarten, St. Kitts, and San Juan, PR, along with some fun-filled days at sea. There are over 50 additional performers, including R&B artist Usher who is headlining along with the multi-talented, award-winning singer, songwriter Alicia Keys, to help send students to HBCUs around the country.
Cabins are going fast because of the fantastic 8-day line-up. There is even a special VIP package, the Phenomenon LL COOL J Package, that includes a specialty LL COOL J item, VIP Section for the LL concert, credential Keepsake, music download, and a chance to win a photo opportunity with LL.
