Who Is Ice-T?
Ice-T was born Tracy Lauren Marrow to parents Alice Marrow and African-American father Solomon on February 16, 1958, in Newark, New Jersey.
To support living, the working class parents traveled to Summit, New Jersey when Ice-T was an infant.
At the age of 7, he began to experience racism as a child (cultural differences in white and black children), yet the lighter skin that he acquired from his Creole based mother was enough to escape such racist treatment.
By the time he was 12, Ice-T lost both his parents as the victim of heart attacks.
Following his father’s death, he went to live with his upper-middle-class aunt’s family in View Park-Windsor Hills, close to South Los Angeles.
His cousin Earl shared a bedroom with him at that point in time, where Ice-T picked up enthusiasm for heavy metal music influenced by his cousin.
Subsequent to attending the predominantly white student’s school he passed out to attended the Crenshaw High School, where mostly black students filled in.
At that time, Gangs began to take over the Los Angeles school system, where most of the understudies that attended school were from the ‘Bloods’ and ‘Crips’ gang. He often experienced gang fights within the school hallways itself.
In spite of the fact, Ice-T never involved as a gang member, he affiliated himself with books and read Iceberg Slim’s novels recounting stories to his friends… And this is where was got his famous nickname “Ice-T.”
Soon running out of cash, and to support his pregnant girlfriend, Ice-T used to sell stolen car stereos and cannabis to locals. After his daughter was born, he joined the U.S Army in 1979 and served for a long time.
However, his life became involved with road wrongdoings after meeting a pimp named Mac, while he was stationed in Hawaii.
While delivering his career in the U.S Army, he got acquainted with the hip-hop genre of music. The single “Rapper’s Delight” encouraged him to create his own form of raps over instrumentals.

From, 1996 to 1999, his consequent collections ‘VI – Return of the Real‘ and ‘The Seventh Deadly Sin’ proved not successful as he deviated from the style of the genre that proved his more fruitful works.
