The Don Mega Ice Cube recently announced that he has put his mind fully back into his music at last, and that all future movie projects will have to wait until his album is released. Going back to the independent route, Cube is set to release his highly anticipated solo album "Laugh Now, Cry Later" through Lench Mob Records on June 6th 2006.

With 4 more months to wait until the album is released, Ice Cube is already heating up the streets with his first single, "Why We Thugs", which was produced by Scott Storch.

As always, the good folks here at dubcnn got the honour to let you check it out. This is the third Scott Storch produced single we premiere this week, which shows how high in demand Scott is currently. Watch how Cube proves that those who wrote him off were fools, and that he still is a force to be wreckoned with, 20 years into the game.

Listen to "Why We Thugs" below:

[West Coast Veteran]

shit is hot!

[The King]

this is tight, Storch finally made a another decent beat, hes had a bad stretch.

[Brazemac]

dam first child support which was bangin and now this one which is even tighter.
Props
Can't wait for this Ice Cube album.

[TuKer Says: Angeles Records is the truth!!]

damm nice, this album is going to be crazy, and i think its going to do major numbers. anyone know what is the independent album that sold the most??

[jeromechickenbone]

Really feelin this one.  And like lots of other cats, Storch has been boring the fuck outta me lately, but he dropped a good beat.  It def had its vintage west coast feels on the hook.  Pretty simple beat, club elements.

Cube came off really good though.  I'm loving the subject matter he's been droppin lately - not the same old formulaic bullshit we're hearing, especially for a lead single.  I kinda got lost on Cube a little bit, and my anticipation wasn't really high after hearing the list of producers he had lined up for this album.  But so far, he's come off very nice so far over Storch, Neptunes, and Lil Jon. 

Great hookup DUBCNN

[Eihtball]

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling this song as well.  Honestly, I'm steadily gaining a lot of faith in Cube - every song from the album I've heard so far (except MAYBE "A Lotta That") was pretty dope, so at least he's not half-assing shit like he was in his "War & Peace" days.  The Storch beat is aiight, but Cube is really the one who brings the joint to life.

[Dubz]

when i heard chrome & paint, i didnt really like it, but its grown on me i guess. then child support brought my views of the new cube up a lot. and now this shit, shiiiit. crazy. this is dope. cant wait for the album to drop, and it better not get pushed back lol.

[late night]

bad azz track... album iz gonna b fuckn hot!!!!!!

[T-Dub]

Laugh Now, Cry Later should be a nice solid album.  I'm feeling this collab with Storch and the other records (A Lotta That is so-so though).  Storch has dropped a couple of nice beats lately, I can't wait to hear this one in better quality.

[PLANT]

DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[E-L-P]

Dope!

[SlickPants]

out of all of them joint with WC is the only one that i haven't felt... like someone else said, the beats have been OK but cube really brings the tracks to life.

[R-Tistic]

It's a coo track, has a dark club feel to it but he's speakin real shit on there, which is what we need 2 hear from Cube.

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]

that shit is Banging!!!
