With the simple words, “It’s coming,” Ice Cube confirmed via Twitter another solo album from the West Coast OG is indeed on the way. Last week, a single, “Only One Me,” surfaced online and was a blistering reminder of vintage Cube from the early Death Certificate days. In fact, it appears on the forthcoming anniversary edition of the 1991 classic record, which is being released through his new deal with Interscope Records.
Cube performed at the Project Pabst music festival in Denver, Colorado last month alongside fellow West Coast luminary WC, whose late brother DJ Crazy Toones was a member of WC and the Maad Circle, and later signed to Cube’s Lench Mob Records. To those in attendance, it was clear Cube was firing on all cylinders, performing well-known tracks like “Friday,” N.W.A’s “Fuck The Police” and “Today Was A Good Day” with an unrelenting energy.
The illustrious actor-rapper also recently announced another installment of the Friday movie series is in the works and he’s been busy with his BIG3 basketball league as well.
Check out “Only One Me” and the tweet above.
Needs production from:
Dr. Dre (why else would he sign to Interscope?)
DJ Premier
Sir Jinx
Rick Rubin
Trackmasters
DJ Quik
DJ Toomp
DJ Mustard
Pete Rock

I’ll fuck u up u fuckin crook. I have a dick for your mother ok
I’m waiting for that Everythang’s Corrupt
Ice Cube’s I Am The West album was straight doo-doo. This album needs to be at least on the level that Raw Footage was on. Little advice for Cube, no trap beats, no fake rapid water sprinkler hi-hats. Just make an authentic west coast album and your fans will appreciate you for it.
You said everything I came in the comments to say…get some DJ Battlecat, Rick Rock, the dope west coast producers. Hell, get some DJ Premier and Pete Rock from the east, but by all means do NOT make an “I Am The West” part 2. That shit is the worst album in Cube’s discography.
Shit was supposed to come out 5 years ago. In 2017 an Ice Cube album is definitely something i don’t want. I don’t wanna see the legends i looked up to fuck up their legacy even more, dude had his run, some great classics. But enough is enough, he just can’t make good music anymore and that’s not a problem, stick to movies.
How the hell does this new song sound like vintage ice cube lol? It sounds like late 2000s ice cube. Vintage ice cube is fucking dope as hell. This new song isn’t worth playing more than once.
I’m not a hater, I love cube. But do yourself a favor and play “keep it gangster”, “$100 bill”, or “go to church”. Dude used to be so ill. One of the best gangster rappers roc ever do it, so I’m kinda hoping that he doesn’t start shitting on his own legacy with half assed music like snoop dogg did.
Fucking Gayce Cube, tampon rapper, I have given up on him already when he fucked with 2 Chainz boy
OMG this rapper turn worst actor and moviemaker is gonna rap again. Probably gonna bitch about Trump and the Police. Always bitching but doing nothing for the black community. Only making money of other peoples misery. But atleast we gonna get that banger with 2chainz and redfoo: dropgirl and hopefully a song with Lil wack and young wack.
Shut up. Your fav rapper would be no one without this man
He can call it ARE WE THERE YET 2…
Ice Cube only has 4 great albums…
1990 AMIERKKKA’S MOST WANTED
1991 DEATH CERTIFICATE
1992 PREDATOR

After that he feel off and went wack. Straight talk and keepin it 100! Not sure as to why he can’t see that himself.
