Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and N.W.A co-founder Ice Cube will perform on Saturday, Aug. 4, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe. It is one of three outdoor Amplified Summer Music series shows at the Stateline venue. Each is an all-ages show.
Having sold over 10 million albums as a solo artist, Ice Cube is back to work on his next album, “Everythangs Corrupt.” With multiple generations of fans, Ice Cube’s commitment to greatness has put him at the forefront of hip-hop’s expansion from local sound to global phenomenon and made him one of Hollywood’s most bankable, likeable names. “Whether you’re making music or you’re making a movie, you have to be great and make it memorable,” Ice Cube said in a press statement.
Joining Ice Cube is the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/rapper Everlast, one of music’s most successful, eclectic artists. After being discovered in the 1980s by gangster rap pioneer Ice T, Everlast had a successful run as the front-man of rap group House Of Pain, whose bone-crushing single “Jump Around” became one of the decade’s biggest songs. With his solo album, “Songs Of The Ungrateful Living,” Everlast shows he’s one of the most talented and diverse people to ever mix musical styles. DJ Mix Master Mike from the Beastie Boys will open the night ahead of Everlast and Ice Cube.
