R&R New Release Tuesday - Ice Cube
Producer, Actor and Rapper, Ice Cube has just released his ninth studo album, I am the West. He promises us that this album will be unlike anything he has ever done before.
Ice is exicted about this project as well because it will be released through his label, Lench Mob, independently. He likes being independent because he has the freedom to do things the big labels frown upon.
DJ Quick, E-A-Ski, and Sir Jinx have produced beats for this album. (Should be real fresh) Ice is also taking a new route lyrically on this album. instead of talking about the norm, money, girls, and all the stuff rappers write about. He wanted to write songs talking about the real issues at hand. Good for you, Cube, talk about stuff that matters.
This album is a must for all rap fans.
