February 16 marks a special day in hip-hop history as we celebrate the 67th birthday of a true legend… Ice-T. Born Tracy Morrow in Newark, New Jersey, in 1958, he may have started on the East Coast, but his influence helped shape the West Coast hip-hop scene in a way few others have.
Ice-T made waves in the rap game with his raw lyricism and storytelling, paving the way for gangster rap. From hits like 6 in the Mornin’ to founding the controversial yet legendary group Body Count, his mark on music is undeniable.
Beyond hip-hop, he became a pop culture icon, starring in Law & Order: SVU for over two decades, proving his versatility in entertainment. As Ice-T celebrates another year, his impact continues to be felt in music, television, and beyond.
