Ice Cube Prints
Famed for antagonising both parents, police, and even politicians, for his socio-political commentary, Ice Cube rose from gangsta-rap’s most infamous to multi-millionaire producer.
L.A. born and bred, O’Shea Jackson Sr., AKA Ice Cube, grew up with strict parents. Pushed to go to university, Cube armed himself with a drafting degree before pursuing a career in music. Swiftly catching the eye of Dr. Dre, Cube completed a notorious stint with N.W.A Before going solo. With his group Da Lench Mob at his side, Ice Cube released the ferociously cutting platinum AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted. The album exposed the harsh realities of ghetto life with righteous anger. It was a raw realism that gave Cube the rep that’d prove difficult to shake. It failed to suppress Ice’s rising, however. Continuously crafting tracks that centred around US racial tensions, Cube’s solo act was explosive. After launching his acting career with a debut in Boyz ‘N the Hood, he went on to star in a host of films; last year he won respect amongst critics producing the acclaimed biopic, Straight Outta Compton. Still remaining a prolific musician, actor, and producer, it can be said that Ice Cube is a big player in whatever he displays his prodigious power and talent.
