This single off The Force came out late last summer, but it only invaded my life early this year. It's my favorite thing at the moment.

What Exactly Was "Deepest Bluest (Shark's Fin)"?
In 1999, LL Cool J was in a horror-thriller called Deep Blue Sea. It was about ravenous super-sharks attacking folks at an underwater research facility. Cool J recorded a song for the end credits. In that song, he imagined himself as a shark. For MEL, I wrote about the ridiculous, riveting "Deepest Bluest."
