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 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."

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 posts title track for 'Hood Manual'

Ice-T yesterday posted the title track from his much anticipated 'Hood Manual' via Sound Cloud yesterday. It's dark, very dark, features members of SMG and quality production is in full effect.

Originally mentioned on Rap Basement way back in 2007, when they posted a video of Ice-T in the studio recording for the album, very little seems to have filtered through. There was the possible album cover posted via Ice-T's official myspace but very little else.

This track is the first positive sign the album may really be on its way!
