Ice-T

[Ro J. Simpson]

It looks like the Original OG Ice T is returning to the Hip Hop scene with a vengeance. I caught up with him the other day and he let me know about several of the projects he's working on. The first is an album called Money, Sex and Guns. He's teamed up with Brooklyn's Smooth Tha Hustler to create one of Hip Hop's first East-West coast groups. Ice described the album as incredible and noted that Smooth Tha Hustler is bringing some serious heat that is guaranteed to make some heads spin.

Ice also went on to talk about another project called the Pimp Penal Code which he is doing with several of the pimps featured in the HBO TV special called 'Pimps Up Hos Down'. He explained that pimps like White Folks, Bishop, Magic Don Juan and others are all on the album spitting serious game about a lifestyle and hustle that has long fascinated many within Hip Hop. The music on the album has a serious funky/ 70s feel that the pimps talk over. He will be selling the album at 100 dollars a pop. He explained that the 'game should be sold, not told'. Look for both lps to drop before years end.
