Tracy Lauren Marrow (1958), better known by his stage name
Ice-T, is an American rapper, songwriter, actor, and producer.
He began his career as an underground rapper in the 1980s
and was signed to Sire Records in 1987, when he released his debut album Rhyme
Pays—reportedly the first hip-hop album to carry an explicit content sticker.
The following year, he founded the record label Rhyme $yndicate Records (named
after his collective of fellow hip-hop artists called the "Rhyme $yndicate")
and released another album, Power, which would go platinum. He also released
several other albums that went gold.
On June 5, 2008, Ice-T joked that he would be voting for
John McCain in the 2008 American elections, speculating that his past
affiliation with Body Count could hurt Barack Obama's chances if he endorsed
him, so he would choose instead to ruin McCain's campaign by saying he
supported him.
Ice-T has stated on numerous occasions that he is a teetotaller
and lives a straight edge lifestyle. He is a long-time practitioner of
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and boxing, and is a big fan of the UFC.
