Ice Cube is bezig met zijn ‘I Am The West Album’. De rapper heeft al meer dan de helft van het album af, maar is nog niet tevreden. Hij zou graag willen samenwerken met zijn voormalig N.W.A. labelmate Dr.Dre.

Het album is nog niet af, maar de eerste single ligt al klaar. De track heet ‘I Rep That West’.

"It's a fuckin' banger," schrijft Ice op zijn weblog. "This one might be too West Coast for the West Coast. It's getting mastered as we speak. You'll be able to hear it and buy it first right here on icecube.com. We shoot the video on the 17th. I would give you guys the concept but I'mma save that and let you see it for yourself. Now I know it seems like my record is West Coast crazy...yeah it is. But I got a lot of real shit to say on this record just like I always do. So my political fans won't be disappointed. But sometime the Big Dog gotta piss on a few trees to let these puppies know what it is. They can't fuck wit me lyrically or physically. They all talks shit from a distance cause they know, I may do comedies but I ain't no joke...Now, I wanna answer a few questions you have for ya' boy... Beats by Dre? Not yet. Haven't asked him, but I will. Any collabos? Not yet."
