LL Cool J

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee was one of the first rappers to succeed commercially when the genre hadn’t quite hit the mainstream. He came onto the scene in 1984 under Def Jam Records and profoundly impacted the hip-hop acts that followed. His collaborators included Michael Jackson. Their tapes were recently discovered in a storage unit in Van Nuys that belonged to music producer Bryan Loren, but they will likely not see the light of day because Jackson’s estate wishes to keep them private.

Leanne Morgan

The Tennessee-based stand-up comedian went from helping her husband sell cellphones to going viral in her 50s and launching a comedy career. Coming from the South, she tends to avoid politics in her routine altogether. Instead, she uses self-deprecating humor to address the private and somewhat squeamish parts of being human. Morgan released her first comedy special, “Leanne Morgan: I’m Every Woman,” in 2023 on Netflix, and her book “What in the World?!: A Southern Woman’s Guide to Laughing at Life’s Unexpected Curveballs and Beautiful Blessings,” came out in September.
