LL Cool J has reportedly paid tribute to Michael Jackson in a recently-recorded song titled 'Billie Jean Dream'.

The new track is based around Jackson's 1983 single 'Billie Jean', while the 41-year-old rapper has apparently put his own spin on a remix of the worldwide hit.

Discussing his inspiration for the tribute, he told Billboard: "After hearing the tragic news of Michael Jackson's death, the lyrics for the 'Billie Jean' remix came to me in a dream.

"Michael was one of my childhood idols and has always been a great inspiration to me."

Fans wishing to hear 'Billie Jean Dream' can stream the song from the LL Cool J official blog.
