As a triple threat, having garnered prestigious accolades such as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Ice Cube transcends the boundaries of music, cinema, and sports, establishing himself as a legend in the world of entertainment. Initially rising to prominence with hip hop supergroup N.W.A., Ice Cube’s departure from the group at its pinnacle marked the beginning of a remarkably successful solo career in music, selling over 10 million albums and cementing his status as a rap icon. Cube has been a part of two groups since then. Westside Connection with Mack 10 and longtime friend WC and Mount Westmore, which includes multi-platinum-selling stars Snoop, E40, and Too $hort.
Expanding his repertoire, he ventured into acting and filmmaking, where he’s produced the Friday, Ride Along, Barbershop, and Are We There Yet? franchises, and the critically acclaimed NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton. He is also an acclaimed film writer (Friday, The Players Club, The Janky Promoters) and director (The Players Club) who is best known for his acting. One of the most bankable actors in cinematic history, he has also acted in the Friday, Barbershop, Are We There Yet? and Ride Along franchises, along with the 21 Jump Street franchise, and has had star turns as a conflicted teen in Boyz N The Hood, a greedy soldier in Three Kings and an elite government agent in XXX: State of the Union. His most recent acting part was playing Superfly in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
Beyond music and film, Ice Cube co-founded the BIG3 basketball league, showcasing his passion for sports, and is currently working on his 11th solo studio album titled Man Down to be released on his label Lench Mob Records in the Summer of 2024
