Ice-T Cleared on all those (Bullsh*t) Charges!

Ice-T found himself on the right side of the law yesterday, after unlicensed driving charges were dropped by New York prosecutors. State lawyers admitted there had been a clerical error when the rapper was arrested last month. "That's what I'm talking about! Dismissed!" the Iceberg shouted into the court.

As for the dumb ass haters Ice dropped some knowledge over Twitter "Street credibility has nothing to do with going to jail, it has everything to do with staying out."

Damn we'll have to put those FREE ICE-T shirts on hold!

Ice-T Guest on new Ras Kass Album A.D.I.D.A.S (listen to track here)

After a gap of nearly 12 years Ras Kas drops his new Kickstarter-funded A.D.I.D.A.S. The title which is an acronym for All Day I Dream About Spitting. The album is picking up some great reviews and features a huge lineup of collaberations including; Royce Da 5’9", Canibus, Chino XL, Jean Grae and old skool friend Ice-T! Ice-T and Ras Kass go way back, check out this cameo in Ras Kass's 1998 video for 'Ghetto Fabulous'



HipHopDX write favourably about the album but of the collaborations highlight Ice's verses; "Artists like Royce Da 5’9", Canibus, and Chino XL usually steal the show lyrically on an album and while all bring forth dope contributions none are Ras Kass. Only Jean Grae and Ice-T’s verses stand out in a project full of quotables from Ras Kass."

You can hear the whole album online at http://raskass.bandcamp.com/album/a-d-i-d-a-s
The track with Ice on it is called Mind Control and can be streamed here http://raskass.bandcamp.com/track/mind-control-ft-ice-t-wais-p

Ice-T Sample opens new "Ramzez - The Formula Volume 2"

Miami New Times 24th June, MIXTAPE OF THE WEEK



"Ramzez, along with Valholla, released The Formula Volume 1 a while ago to much fanfare -- so much so that the long-awaited The Formula Volume 2 mixtape is now available. It's hosted and mixed by Nightbreederz / Shadyville / ThisIs50 affiliate DJ Young Cee.

The mixtape starts off with a classic Ice-T quote where he says that the music is "not supposed to be positive. This music is negative because the streets are negative." After a few more words from Ice-T, the mixtape kicks off to 23 tracks of Ramzez going in on a variety of original beats and already-existing instrumentals."

Ice-T to Speak to Foster Youth in Texas...

The BoomBox and My San Antonio report that Ice-T is to donate his time to foster kids in Texas at the Texas Foster Youth Conference, they report;

"As for why he's a great speaker for the event, Ice pointed out that the youth is usually reluctant when listening to people like police officers or other authority figures. - "He was an orphan early on and he knows the issues our foster youth face," explained conference organizer Nancy Bonilla. "Because of his celebrity status, he brings recognition to the issues, and a big part of the conference is to bring awareness to the issues."

Marc Live Talks New Album, Working With Ice-T & Kool Keith...

"Marc Live may not be a household name, but the New York native remains both one of the most enduring and one of the most creative forces in Hip Hop. The front-man for early '90s Rap outfit Raw Breed, Marc has seen both major label peaks and industry valleys. Maintaining lasting relationships with his Analog Brothers Ice-T and Kool Keith, as well as the Sa-Ra Creative Partners, this industry veteran remains well-connected and well-respected.

Speaking with HipHopDX early this week in celebration of his nrew album, Episode III: The Revenge of Marc Rippin', the veteran speaks about lasting relationships, bruised egos and the devastating changes to a culture and an industry that once embraced creativity."

Ice-T filming 'The Art of Rap'

Back in mid March the Iceberg tweeted he was about to start production on his film 'The Art of Rap'. Other tweets gave us a look at the interview list that includes KRS1 and Grandmaster Caz, and a number of maybes which include RasCazz, Imortal Technique and Ghostface from the Wu; "@GhostfaceKillah I'm trying to reach Ghost... DM me. Ice T"

March the 26th, the Iceberg interviewed Reakwon and on the 28th he interviewed/filmed with Chuck D, Naughty By Nature, Kool Kieth and Grandmaster Caz...

He may have also hit up Busta based on this recent photo;



At the moment most news about the film is coming direct from the Iceberg himself via his Twitter Account, but if we find anything new, we'll let you know!

HIP HOP DX indepth interview with the Iceberg!

"If anybody was born to rap, it's Ice-T. In television and in film, the way the almost 30-year Rap veteran delivers his lines, it's still rooted in cadence and conviction. The same is true when you interview him. More than most, Ice-T is a listener. He tells a mean story, but he always touches on to each facet of a question, even if it's 10 minutes later.

The same appears true of Ice-T's career. As seen in Law & Order: SVU and his relationship with Coco, the O.G. is continuously evolving, but if conversation allows, he shows that he's remembered every mile in the road that brought him here. The same man who made the cassette tapes that I had to hide from my mother, now entertains her through a multi-network syndicated television show. The Home Invasion prophecy has been fulfilled, as T has achieved true and lasting Power.

It might not be rhyme that pays these days, but Ice-T tells HipHopDX about new music with Immortal Technique and Canibus. He asserts that he's a Mobb Deep fanatic, and although Dr. Dre and Ice may frequently break bread together at the dinner-table, T explains why friendship is always thicker than collaboration. Although many love him for so many reasons, we forever champion this man for his risk-taking rhymes and topical, vividly-optical style. Ice-T, one of our heroes."

And thats just the introduction, check out when of the best web interviews with Ice-T in years at HIP HOP DX These are our Heros; Ice-T
