Ice-T New Album?

Yesterday via Twitter DJ King Assassin dropped this bombshell; "I'm mixing down the new ICE T release!"

Could this be the long awaited 'Hood Manaul'? First mentioned way back in 2007 via Rap Basement when they posted a video of Ice-T in the studio claiming him to be working on a new album!

Then in September 2008 came this picture posted on Ice-T's official MySpace;


Underneath were (and still are) the words "Hood Manual - Coming Soon". Then Ice-T posted the title track in August this year via Sound Space! Hopefully with Ice's new label via EMI, we may see the album drop soon, question is was it Hood Manual that DJ King Assassin was mixing down?

Ice-T rocks 15th Anniversary Warped Tour with Body Count


Reports have been filtering through from last nights 15th Anniversary Warped tour celebration that among Kety Perry, NOFX and the All American Rejects was Ice-T with his metal outfit Body Count! Orange County Local Music Examiner Paul Hebert wrote;

"As the Aggrolites ended their set, the revolving-stage began to slowly turn as the emcee announced the arrival of none-other than the notorious hard-rocking group Body Count, fronted by rap veteran Ice-T. The show had Ice-T listed as a performer for the evening, but the fact that he arrived and performed with Body Count had the entire venue ecstatic. The main floor erupted into a ferocious mosh-pit as the band played through many tracks off their 1992 self-titled release including "Bowels of the Devil," "KKK Bitch" and "There goes the Neighborhood." As the police-light bars began to spin and guitarist Ernie-C ripped out the opening notes of the controversial "Cop Killer" the pit expanded consuming a good amount of the orchestra area."
