Thug Life Army

Legendary hip-hop gangsta rap artist Ice Cube will make his return to the rap mic with the debut of his seventh solo LP, titled "Laugh Now, Cry Later."

"Laugh Now, Cry Later," which will be released by Ice Cube's independently owned label, Lench Mob Records, will hit shelves on June 6th.

Boasting production from top level producers like hip-hop notables Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz and Lil'' Jon, and featuring guest spots by rap artists Snoop Dogg and WC, Ice Cube looks to settle back into his position as Rap's Heavy Weight Champion, showcasing his creative and lyrical genius throughout the album.

With the streets already talking about the buzz single video "Chrome Paint," which blends low-riders and the West Coast lifestyle, the album's first official single will be Scott Storch produced "Why We Thugs," which delves into social commentary about weapons, narcotics, politics and the ghettos of America over a heavy baseline. Always a true MC at heart, Ice Cube has spent this past year away from the big screen to create a well thought out and complete album which mixes rider music, club bangers and soon to be classics through his unique talent of cinematic storytelling.

Regarded as one of the Most Important figures in hip-hop and rap history, Ice Cube began his career with Eazy E’s Notorious West Coast Gangsta Rap Group N.W.A a little over 15 years ago.

At the height of NWA's success, Ice Cube broke away to start his own solo career.
