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

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."

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."
