Recorded at Syndicate Studios West and Wide Tracks, Los Angeles, California. THE ICEBERG proved that Ice-T was more just than a "hardcore" or "gangsta" rapper. An appearance by Jello Biafra (of the punk group the Dead Kennedys) would certainly be out of place on many rap albums, but along with Ice-T's love of punk music and metal, it shows Ice-T's solidarity with another crusader for free speech. THE ICEBERG delves into the politics of power and free speech on "Shut Up, Be Happy" and "Freedom Of Speech," along with the rappers' trademark crime tales.
Since his late-1980s debut, Ice-T's beats and delivery style have managed to cross over to white audiences without selling out or diluting his mic control. When not making new albums or acting in movies and on TV, Ice-T sometimes leads the rap-metal group Body Count, best known for their controversial song "Cop-Killer."
