Repost: F.I.L.T.H.E.E. feat. Ice T & Grandmanster Caz - AyAyAya

OK so this isn't officially a re post as we've never posted it, however, this has been around since early last year. We here at Ice Blog Towers figured many of you may have never heard F.I.L.T.H.E.E. feat. Ice T & Grandmanster Caz - AyAyAya, or you've heard the TNA version of the tune.

The TNA version is heavily edited has been remixed to be easier on the ear, cuts out most of the Icebergs verse and completely cuts out Grandmaster Caz!!! Well the version below is the full un-cut, you get to hear your man Iceberg on top form! Enjoy it, and pay 'rakontur' a little love, as we're linking from his YouTube:

Ice-T Interview on Conan...

Check out the Icebergs recent interview with Conan on NBC. He hassles Conan about his beef with the Newark Mayor, talks about his new gunshop in the new virtual world IMVU, the film Good Hair and his FLGT (Final Level Twitter Gang. It's funny stuff, take a look and rate the video;

Ice-T New Body Count Album in 2009?

We noticed this video a couple of weeks back on the FunkyJahPunkys' official youtube channel. However it's only in the last week that stories have begun to appear on websites like ANTIMUSIC and the LA WEEKLY, why are these reports important? Well any love for the Iceberg is always well received however ANTIMUSIC in it's report on the 9th of October states:

"Ice-T enjoyed working with The FunkyJahPunkys. "It is very refreshing to work with a true, hard core, underground group. There are not many left." Ice-T just wrapped up the summer touring with the 15th anniversary Warp Tour, and is releasing new material with his band Body Count later this year."

No your eyes are not deceiving you, the last line does read - "releasing new material with his band Body Count later this year"

Holy sh*t! New Body Count Album before the end of the year!!!!! We'll do our best to find out more, till then sit back and enjoy The FunkyJahPunkys first single from their new album of the same name, featuring our legend Ice-T, this is CORPORATE TAKEOVER!

Ice-T 'Hood Manual' in production (it's Official)

Last week we reported the Twitter post of DJ King Assassin and the subsequent update regarding his interview with Ice-T. Well we are happy to confirm that yesterday we sat down and listened to the interview in full, and The Hood Manual is Official!

In part two of the interview Ice-T states; "I'm doing a record called The Hood Manual, which really is a bunch of records I did, featuring on other peoples records. I got records with M.O.P, I got records with Kool Moe Dee, I got records with all kinds of artists."

At this point DJ King Assassin mentions a track he has featuring both Ice-T and 2Pac. Finger crossed he gets this over to Ice and we see it on the album! Ice has never, (unlike many others) talked a lot about his affiliation with 2PAC, but a simple YouTube search brings up numerous videos, from TV appearances and tracks that feature both artists.



The interview itself is the best we have heard in regards to Ice-T and his music, hell in regards to Ice-T and his world, for a long time! Give it a listen and please surf over to DJ King Assassins PodoMatic page and give him some love!

Ice-T New Album? Part 2...

A week or so ago, we here at the Ice Blog were getting excited due to a Twitter post from DJ King Assassin stating; "I'm mixing down the new ICE T release!"

Was this the new release we've been waiting for? Was it 'Hood Manual'? Well, we can now confirm... NO.

A post via Ice-T's own Twitter states in answer to a fans excited question;

"RT @HyJaxLTD: Tell me its 'The Hood Manual' complete or aa whole nitha title? > No. It's actually a remix of the 'Act Of War' Anti- Mixtape"

We did a little further digging and found a recent interview with DJ King Assassin and the Iceberg on the worldwide syndicated MixShowBlast available via PodoMatic.

The interview is split, PART ONE - PART TWO. Surf over and give DJ King Assassin's PodoMatic page some love, and keep dreaming, dreaming of the 'Hood Manaul'!
