Ice-T (Tracy Lauren Marrow, b. 1958) is known as one of the earliest gangster rappers to emerge out of the west coast Hip-Hop scene. Born in Newark, New Jersey, Ice-T used rapping to save him from a life on the streets. Gaining inspiration from the pen name "Iceberg Slim" and his first name being Tracey, Ice-T was born. Ice-T signed with Sire Records in 1987 and then released his debut album, Rhyme Pays later that same year, which went gold in the 1990s. He is most notable for his controversial politics as a west coast rapper and the growth of his acting career such as starring in movies like New Jack City (1991).
Body Count is a 90s heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California. The group was fronted by Ice-T, who established himself as a rapper and co-founded the group with lead guitarist Ernie C. Body Count's self-titled debut album was released on Sire Records in 1992 and garnered much attention due to controversy around the song "Cop Killer". "Cop Killer" quickly drew widespread condemnation for inciting violence against police officers. The artists claimed that the song was simply intended as a commentary on the police brutality and racism felt by the Black community.
