Ice-T Teases his next studio album.
Ice-T recently connected with AllHipHop for a new exclusive interview to promote his iHeartPodcasts’ show “Ice-T’s Daily Game”. During the conversation, the rapper/actor revealed that he’s working on his new album “The Legend of ICE-T “Crime Stories” Vol 1 & 2″, which will feature six new storytelling songs.
“I got a rap project coming out and it’s called…First, I’ve never spoken on it yet… It’s called, The Legend of ICE-T “Crime Stories” Vol 1 & 2,” he said.
The ‘Law & Order’ actor then added that he’s coming for Slick Rick’s King Of Stories’ Throne. “It’s a compilation of all my story rhymes from all eight albums and about six new songs that are all story-based,” he added. “You know, they say Slick Rick is the king of stories. I’m coming for that throne. Wait till you hear this. These are all my story records from ‘6 ’N the Mornin’’ to ‘Midnight’ and all these adventures put into one album. It’s a double vinyl release, it has two vinyls and it’s gonna be like a classic collector’s piece. The reason it’s titled The Legend of ICE-T is because a lot of things people believe about me are legend.”
Ice-T, who has recently introduced his new iHeartPodcast, called “Ice-T’s Daily Game,” further elaborated on the significance of the album’s title and provided an explanation for the true meaning of the term “legend.” “Legend is part false. You know, it’s like the night I got in the squabble in the club and I knocked one dude out, where a legend says it was three dudes.” he said about what motivated him to drop new music. “A lot of this stuff that people believe about me are lyrics that aren’t necessarily true, but we’ll let the legend continue. So that’s what The Legend of ICE-T: Crime Stories is about, be on the lookout for that, that should be coming out within the next two to three months.”
Alongside his rap album, Ice-T has been consistently occupied with his Grammy Award-winning heavy metal rock band, Body Count. “I kinda like the fact that in this Rap world, they don’t even know that I’m over here touring for hundreds of thousands of people doing Body Count shows. I kind of like the feeling of somebody thinking, well, ‘Ice-T’s played out, Ice-T is over with,’ and I’m making more money than they are, like, I dig it. I have a motto on my Daily Game Podcast. ‘If they sleeping on you, let ’em rest, man. Let ’em rest.’ But Body Count is right now in the studio doing Merciless the new album.”
