Ice Cube to perform songs spanning four decades of his career
This tour will include songs from all phases of Ice Cube's career—from his days with N.W.A. to solo hits and tracks from Man Down, which debuted at No. 8 on Billboard's Top Rap Albums chart in 2024. The album, released through Lench Mob/Hitmaker Music Group, featured the lead single It's My Ego and earned 20,000 equivalent album units in the US, according to Billboard and Luminate.
"Most of the people who say hip-hop is a young man's game don't do it and ain't never gripped a mic and ripped it," Cube told Billboard last year, shutting down ageist assumptions in hip-hop. "This is wordplay and flow. This is skill."
The tour will make stops in cities including Baltimore, Atlanta, Cleveland, Denver, Austin, Los Angeles, Oakland, and more. Cube emphasized that this show will feature a "major production unlike anything I've ever done before."
