The name of the record is called ‘Man Down’, and, you know, it’s a pretty good record. I like it.
It’s dope.”Ice Cube Announces First New Album In 5 Years: "Man Down" (cc: @MrChuckD) https://t.co/FOpYFQI79O— Rapstation.News (@Rapstation365) September 26, 2023In the same chat, Cube also reflected on his career and how it has shaped the person he is today: “It’s a blessing, really. For one, I made a promise to myself when I got in[to] this business that I wouldn’t let it change who I am as a person, so I was always willing to let the chips fall where they may and not worry about ‘I can’t do this or my career will be over’ or ‘if I do this, will this happen?’“When you broke when you’re starting off, going back to being broke is not an issue.
That’s not motivation, like ‘I’m going to be broke again, let me bow down to this bullshit.’ No.”‘Man Down’ would be the hip-hop pioneer’s first solo LP since 2018’s ‘Everythang’s Corrupt’, where he showed the political rebelliousness he’s known for on tracks like ‘Arrest The President’ – referring to then-US leader Donald Trump. Since then, the rap and media mogul formed the hip-hop supergroup Mount Westmore which was comprised of Too $hort, E-40, Snoop Dogg and himself.Mount Westmore dropped their debut album ‘Snoop, Cube, 40, $hort’ in December 2022.
