He is set to drop his tenth studio album <strong><em>Everythang\u2019s Corrupt<\/em><\/strong> by the end of the year. Ice Cube has been in the game since 1984 as part of the group C.I.A.\u00a0 The other members were K-Dee and Sir Jinx who made their mark on West Coast hip hop in their own right. He would then go on to join one of the most impactful groups N.W.A to then branch off as a solo artist. It was during this transition where Ice Cube would build and establish ties with the East Coast hip hop movement.<\/p>\n<p>Ice Cube and Sir Jinx relocated to New York City to work on 1990\u2019s <strong><em>AmeriKKKa\u2019s Most Wanted<\/em><\/strong>. During this time Ice Cube reached out to the Bomb Squad, the in-house producers for Public Enemy. The album ended up being a co-production between Sir Jinx and the Bomb Squad, most notably Hank Shocklee. The end result was a classic and considered to be one of the most impactful hip hop albums of all-time. Chuck D, front man of Public Enemy made an appearance on the track \u201cEndangered Species\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ice Cube \u2013 Endangered Species feat. Chuck D<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-XnJLgfPk0I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Around that same time Ice Cube would return the favor hopping on Public Enemy\u2019s track \u201cBurn Hollywood Burn\u201d alongside Big Daddy Kane. The song was tied to Public Enemy\u2019s 1990 project <strong><em>Fear of a Black Planet<\/em>. <\/strong>That same year Ice Cube and Chuck D would work together on the remix to Run DMC\u2019s Back from Hell. In one year Ice Cube would appear alongside three legendary east coast hip hop acts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Public Enemy \u2013 Burn Hollywood Burn feat.

This time around it was landing on Kool G Rap and DJ Polo\u2019s <strong><em>Live and Let Die<\/em><\/strong> album on the song \u201cTwo to the Head\u201d. The track also featured Scarface and Bushwick Bill from the Geto Boys. The track was unique itself at the time with the fact that you had an east coast artist, west coast artist, and down south artists on the same song. The track was produced by Ice Cube\u2019s co-hort Sir Jinx. This marked the first time ever an East Coast act had rapped over a West Coast produced beat. The following year Cube appeared on Erick Sermon\u2019s solo album <strong><em>No Pressure<\/em><\/strong> on \u201cIll Sh*t\u201d along with his cousin and fellow West Coast artist Kam.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kool G rap and DJ Polo \u2013Live and Let Die feat.

Released in 2004 off of Lil Jon\u2019s <strong><em>Crunk Juice <\/em><\/strong>project featuring Ice Cube with Bun B, Jadakiss, T.I.,\u00a0and Nas. Scarface and Nas would link up with Ice cube once again on the remix to &#8220;Gangster Rap Made Me Do It&#8221; from the 2008 album <strong><em>Raw Footage<\/em><\/strong>.
