Raw Footage

Ice Cube

A veteran's sharp-tongued return to political fire. Heavy West Coast synths meet a commanding baritone dissecting media hypocrisy and street reality.

Find on Amazon

Ice Cube stops making movies for a second to remind everyone why he's the angriest man in rap.

A calculated, veteran-led assault on hypocrisy delivered with heavy bass and cinematic urgency.
