Stream Ice Cube’s ‘Death Certificate’ Digital Deluxe | 30th Anniversary of Release
Ice Cube‘s platinum selling sophomore release “Death Certificate,” considered to be one of the hardest hip-hop albums of all time.
Celebrating it’s 30th Anniversary, Ice Cube has released the complete digital deluxe edition of “Death Certificate” featuring the bonus “Tryin’ To Maintain.”
On October 29, 1991, Ice Cube released his highly anticipated second studio album Death Certificate, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, #1 on Billboard‘s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and went platinum the first two months of its release, going on to sell over 5 million copies worldwide.
Produced by OG Cube cohorts, Sir Jinx, and the Boogiemen, Death Certificate takes a potent look at life in South Central through the eyes of one of reality rap’s greatest and grittiest storytellers. Roughly organized as two thematic elements of a larger whole, it opens with Cube’s explanation: “The Death Side: a mirror image of where we are today; The Life Side: a vision of where we need to go.”
Death Certificate was heralded a musical masterpiece and Ice Cube ultimately received the accolades he deserved for his incisive and revelatory socio-political commentary.
