Tracey Lauren Murrow

Ice-T is a rapper and producer. As the lead singer of the heavy metal band Body Count, he won a Grammy and also received the NAACP Image Award. In addition, the performer realized himself in cinema, acting in films of different genres.

At birth, the artist received the name Tracy Lauren Murrow. The boy was born on February 16, 1958 in Newark to parents of different nationalities, African American and Creole. Murrow's biography was not developing in the best way: his mother died of a heart attack, and his father raised the child with the help of a housewife. Murrow Sr. died when his son was 13. Representatives of the artist told the media that his parents were victims of a car accident, but the rapper denied these facts in an interview with reporters.

For some time the young man lived with one of the aunts, then he was transferred to the care of the family of another relative. After moving to the southern part of Los Angeles, the guy began to live in a room with his cousin Earl. The newly minted college entrant was into rock music and passed on his interest to Tracy.

Murrow attended Palms High School, then moved to Crenshaw. Among his peers, he stood out for his lack of interest in alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. During this period, the rapper received the nickname Ice-T. It was associated with the work of Iceberg Slim, whom the guy sympathized with. At the same time, Lauren first tried to make music. He became a member of The Precious Few of Crenshaw High School.

From the age of 17, Lauren Murrow lived independently. He received benefits because he was considered an orphan. The guy rented an apartment with this money. The rent was $ 90, and the balance was not enough for the essentials. The guy earned additional income by selling cannabis and stealing stereos from cars. The situation was complicated by the fact that the young man lived with his girlfriend, Adrienne, who was pregnant with him. In 1976, she gave birth to her daughter Letesha. Despite the fact that the couple went through many difficulties together, their personal life did not work out.

In 1977, the young man went to the army and spent 2 years in the infantry division. He returned home in 1979. They managed to get fired, since Murrow was considered a single father.

In 1984, on the set of the film, Lauren met Darlene Ortiz. The girl inspired the rapper so much that her image appeared on the covers of two albums. Darlene gave her beloved son, who was named Ice. The boy was born in 1992. Having children did not stop Ice-T from breaking up with women - he broke up with the child's mother.

In 2002, the model Nicole Austin became the artist's wife. In 2015, the couple had a daughter. The girl was named Chanel. This marriage turned out to be successful for the artist.

Ice-T became interested in hip-hop music while stationed in Hawaii as a squad leader. Here the artist bought the first equipment - two turntables, speakers and a mixer, and also began to delve into the basics of rap culture.

Returning home, the guy decided to try his hand at being a DJ. The school nickname became the official pseudonym. Now Murrow performed at parties and enjoyed the interest of the public. Lauren combined his first steps as a rapper with criminal activities.

During this period, the musician got into a car accident. In order not to be caught by the police, he was in the hospital under an assumed name. The incidents of that time allowed the man to rethink what was happening in life, and he decided to concentrate on his performing career. After being discharged from the hospital, Ice-T won the open microphone competition. So a new stage began in the artist's creative biography.

In 1982 he met the producer of the Saturn Records label, and a year later he released the first single. The track was named Cold Wind Madness and contained obscene lyrics, so radio stations did not broadcast it. However, this did not stop the song from becoming popular. The next song was called Body Rock and was incredibly popular in clubs due to its electro-hip-hop sound. In 1984, Reckless was released, for which a video was shot.

Ice-T began to act as a gangsta rapper, focusing on the work of Schoolly D. The artist was inspired by the activities of criminal gangs, described it in the tracks, but did not name names. The first single in this style was the composition 6 in the Mornin. Having started cooperation with Sire Records, Lauren Murrow presented the album Rhyme Pays. In 1988, the Power disc premiered.

A year later, The Iceberg / Freedom of Speech ... Just Watch What You Say was released, and in 1991 the OG Original Gangster disc was released. During this period, Ice-T tried himself as the vocalist of his own band, which worked in an unexpected musical direction. Heavy metal band Body Count went on tour. The band's first album was released in 1992.

In 1996, a solo album by performer VI - Return of the Real - was released. After 2 years, fans met The Seventh Deadly Sin disc. This was followed by a long break. The musician returned to the release of records only in 2006.

In 2011, the artist tweeted about plans to expand his discography. The new album was supposed to be presented in 2012, but by 2014 the vocalist had not met the expectations of the fans. Bloodlust was presented only in 2017. Two years later, the artist released the first solo hip-hop track in the past decade. The new hit was called Feds In My Rearview.

Ice-T took place as an actor as well. He has starred in the films Break Dance and Break Dance: Electric Boogalot. The artist's portfolio was regularly updated with new roles. The rapper worked on the set of the action movie "New Jack City" in the company with Denzel Washington, then starred in the movie "Ricochet" in 1991 release. Soon the artist began to receive leading roles. In his filmography appeared the projects "Survival in the game", "Johnny Mnemonic", "Steep Trunks", "Doomsday" and others.

Ice-T continued his film career in the 2000s. Among the notable works of this period are "Fearless Disciples", "Understudy", "On Fire", "Bloody Flight" and others. In 2018, the film "Golden Revenge" with the participation of the rapper was released. The musician starred not only in action films, as it would be easy to assume. Among the roles that are offered to him, there are dramatic and comedic characters.

In 2006, the shooting of the show "Rap School Ice-T" started, which was later shown on the VH1 channel. In 2011, the man and his wife Nicole Austin became participants in the Ice Loves Coco family show. Since 2013, the artist has been taking part in recording podcasts. The first episodes of Ice-T: Final Level consisted of discussions about music, video games, new movies, and conversations with guest artists.

The rapper continues his creative activity. He is still married to Nicole Austin, despite the fact that unpleasant rumors regularly appear around their family life.

The artist has a verified Instagram page, where Ice-T regularly posts photos from performances, photo shoots and public events. He also shares personal shots frequently.

Now the musician keeps himself in excellent physical shape. He is 180 cm tall and weighs 91 kg.
